It is intended to be used with the GURPS 4e rules, but redesigns certain assumptions about GURPS, including the Magic System. |

| − | *Magic is not based on fatigue. Instead, it is based on an internal reserve of magical ability. Energy Reserves cost 1 CP per point. Maximum EP are 10 if in possession of Weak levels of magic, 20 if in Moderate levels of magic, 50 if in Strong levels of magic, and almost unlimited if in Pure levels of magic. | + | *Magic is not based on fatigue. Instead, it is based on an internal reserve of magical ability. Every person starts with a reserve of 10 for free. To buy up or down the reserve costs or gives 2 points per point, but cannot be raised more than 10+(MageryX5). |
| − | | + | *Magery 0 to 1 is available to the average person, and MUST be picked as God Magic, Dragon Magic, or Undermagic; either they were born gifted with magic, or have developed magical talents through their adventures (or their faith). To grow any more powerful in magical ability, one must serve the gods of that particular group, or find a way to "sap" the magical energy from such a source. |
| − | | + | *To cast spells, do not use GURPS Magic. Instead, you would buy a skill to be able to harness magic, with the potential to use Powers for very specific abilities that you can use "naturally" through strong specialization (requires Magery 3+). |
| − | *To cast spells, do not use GURPS Magic. Instead, you would build them as powers, with certain limitations. | + | *Skills are not based on skills. Instead, start with 9 and add your Magery to your Magic attribute, which can not be changed individually. You may base skills off of this attribute. |

| − | *There are Weak, Moderate, Strong, and Pure levels of magic. No mortal is allowed to take Pure; only gods, dragons, or underworld gods have access to Pure abilities.

| − | *Weak gives the following modifiers: First of all, all activation rolls are at 11 (-20%) to use any ability. Second of all, if you spend 5 energy points or more, the spell will cost 1 Energy per use or per minute (-10%), as well as 1 HP damage on a failure, and 1d HP damage on a critical failure (-2%). Second of all, if spending a FULL 10 points, a failure results in 1d HP damage, and a heart attack (!) on a critical failure. (-6%) Lastly, it has Takes Extra Time 1 (-10%), and takes a second to cast. Some abilities may take longer. To be able to cast weak magic takes a Perk; one can be bought for Dragon, God, Underworld, AND Chaos Magic. Casting perk-level spells with these abilities is not difficult, and can be done with only a little training.

| − | *Moderate is the same, except that activation rolls are at 14 (-10%) to use any ability, and the effects of harm and potential death are at cost of 10 to 20. (Note to self: Same point deduction for limitation?). Costs 5 points; one can be bought for Dragon, God, Underworld, OR Chaos Magic. To be able to cast one kind of magic is usually taken in lieu of all other kinds.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | *Strong is the same, except that activation rolls are at 16 (-5%), with 17 as a normal failure and 18 as a critical failure. Costs 15 points. | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | *Pure has no activation rolls whatsoever, and will not harm the user. Is unavailable to beginning characters.

| − | *Power Modifier (is included in all of those below) -15% Special Advantages or Skills CM -5%, relies on Mana -5%, Energy Reserves Only -5%.

| − | *Weak: -20% .... Nuisance Effect: Very Noticeable -5%

| − | | |
| − | *Moderate (Divine): -25% ... 5 point disadvantage for Divine (-5%), Nuisance Effect: Very Noticeable -5%
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | *Strong .... -40% 15 point disad (-15%), takes a major quest to restore (-5%), power fades gradually (+5%)
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | *For sapping, none of the above disadvantages apply; instead, you would buy mental disadvantages of an equivalent point value, and possibly a -15 point Secret! -20% for Weak and Moderate, -15% for Strong.
