Spell Perks: Some races have spell perks. Spell perks are similar to Fixed Magic from GURPS Fantasy but they work a little differently. Each spell perk costs one CP and allows the character to learn one spell that has no spell prerequisites (all other prerequisites are ignored -- e.g. Magery levels). Normal skill cost is still paid for the spell. Magery levels affect it normally if applicable. The GM has final say as to which spells can be taken as Spell Perks and may also make other spells available as perks.

So Evil (mostly) rules the world. Magic is rare, illegal, hard to come by, magical healing even more so. I've not read it, but it looked like it could be fun to do in GURPs.

I was thinking making most of the world Necromantically aspected, so a bonus to necromantic spells, and a penalty to healing

The setting is pretty grim with most "fey" races being actively hunted by Izrador's priests and orc and humanoid armies, undead roaming the land, and everyone else subjugated under corrupt human governments and evil clergy.

Think of the possibilities!!!!
