Standard, GURPS Magic-style spell-magic is just about a perfect match . . . I just find it a little colorless (which is why I made up styles with backgrounds and gave them perks that change how they work magic), and I'm not fond of the standard prerequisite system (which is why all my styles in Dungeon Magic and Horror Magic mix things up in that regard).
Which is why I grouped the colleges into 9 elements in 3 spheres with a few tweaks.
