Unless they contained elements I considered "product identity" I would not PI them. I could certainly PI the names of the "spells" I created, and if I thought I had created a "system" with brand equity I might PI that "system brand" (i.e. "Traveller ShipTech"). The PI clauses of the OGL are not designed to restrict 3rd party use of the game mechanic - they're designed to restrict 3rd party use of the world and story and IP of the game. Trying to use PI claims to assert "ownership" on a game mechanic doesn't make much sense. More likely I simply would leave them in a section of the work marked as neither OGC nor PI, and allow normal IP law to hold sway.
