IntroductionThis netbook describes power-basedmagic in the flavour of the magicalschools of Glantri. it is not a 1-to-1translation but keep most of theinteresting stuff and adds some d20concepts. While not strictly needed, theGURPS Powers book might come inhandy.

Magic SkillsBesides the magical powers, whichmostly benefit the mage himself, it isalso possible to create magical effectsthrough rituals. While the skills from theBasic Set are used, they are used diffe-rently, as described below.

Symbol Drawing (Hard IQ):certain magical rituals requiresymbols to be drawn and this is theskill needed to do it right. Ritualsallow one to achieve magical effectsbeyond the strictly codified confinesof spells and are used to createlasting effects such as the conjura-tion of a guardian elemental, thecreation of a magical sword etc. Thedifficulty of Symbol Drawing is twoless than that of the Thaumatologyroll for the ritual and a successfulroll grants +2 on the Thaumatologyroll (+3 on a critical success).Thaumatology (Very Hard IQ):As a rule of thumb, any item of TL 8or less can be simulated by magic, ifits general nature fits any of themagical talents of the caster. Forexample, a magical box showinginteresting stories (effectually aDVD player - TL 8) might requireIllusion magic. The creation diffi-culty modifier is the TL of the item

(-8 in the example). After TL 8, thedifficulty is increased by 3 per TL.The creation of items that grant aspecific advantage are a special case;the difficulty modifier is 1 per pointof cost (making it a good idea toinclude limitations) and the creationcost is 1000 ducats per point. Notethat some materials may not even beavailable and can require a quest ofsorts.Occultism (Average IQ): a generalnon-working knowledge if magic,i.e., what kind of magic items exist,what spells and rituals exist andwhat effects do they cause.Innate Attack (Easy DX): Thereare several variants of this skillneeded for different powers. Theseare: Ray, Breath, Touch, andMissile. Note that talent does notadd to these rolls.

Magical PowersThe magical powers are grouped intopowers, each with its own magical talentthat is added to all required rolls. Thesource of these powers is magic (seeGURPS Powers, pg. 27). The powersare described on the next pages of thisdocument.
