A while back someone asked me if I knew how to convert the
AD&D magic system to GURPS.  While I don't have any personal
plans to use the result, the idea did spark enough of an
interest to give it a stab.  I thought I would post what
I came up with to see what people think (note: I haven't
tried these and don't have an currently plans to try it)
*************************
[Note: These rules are probably most suitable for a high
magic campaign]
- For fatigue cost, use the AD&D level of the spell (eg, Level 3 spells 
would require 3 fatigue to cast).
- Replace saving throws with resistance rolls (all spells, even ones 
without resistance, require either a resistance roll or must be thrown 
and can be blocked or dodged).
- All spells are skills (Mental Very Hard).
- Before you can learn spells at a level (other than first) you need to 
learn 5 spells at the previous level.
- GM should require players to start with spells at a certan level or 
below (probably only 1 st level spells for starting 100 point 
characters).
- Magery is 5/points per level (This may be a bit low, I think 10 
points/level would also be reasonable).  To cast spells at a certain 
level, you need the same number of levels of magery (for example 5 levels 
of magery to use level 5 spells).  Magery provides no bonus to spell 
casting.  (GM will have to decide about adding levels after character 
creation.  A suggestion, allow the player to add [At double cost?], as 
many levels as he/she started with.  For example, if a player starts with 
2 levels he/she can add 2 more levels after creation.)
- It is suggested that damage from attack spells be reduced (perhaps to
one or two dice per level of the spell).
