I have run the game as recommended above, with 4e realm magic and the 3e GURPS conversion. I found it worked quite well.

One thing I removed, though, was the fatigue cost for coincidental magic. I believe it goes better with the feel of the source material to have that be free.

The game fizzled out after a few sessions due to my failure to read a player correctly, but the rules base seemed to work fine.

A piece of advice on the world-adaptations I've seen a few times: Don't try to convert everything directly. Have a picture of what you want to make and build that. It doesn't all have to match the stats or have a conversion formula in order to get the feel you want.
