Sorry, but the roots of the standard Magic system go back to the first edition of Gurps Fantasy in the late 80s and I don't believe anyone who posts around here was there then. I only go back to around 1998.

I think the designer was probably Steve Jackson himself and we don't hear much from him directly these days either.

If you want details of how it works there are people here who can help you but initial "whys" not so much.
