I don't think this will help, as others have answered your question in full, but should you want to read a bit more on "How can I do fantasy in
GURPS?":
I have a short-ish article on different
ways to do dungeon-themed fantasy in GURPS (though you could of course pick any of those ways, de-emphasize the dungeons, and have broader fantasy). The crib notes version:
1) Just use
Basic Set. It'll do fantasy (even with wizardly magic), but a GM will have lots of work to do (creating more monsters, templates, gear, etc.).
2) Use
Basic Set + fantasy supplements. Books like
Fantasy (a genre guide),
Magic (lots more spells), and
Banestorm (a detailed setting) do a lot of work for the GM.
3) Use
Basic Set + the
Dungeon Fantasy series + fantasy supplements (definitely
Magic; others optional). This gets you a worked-out game build for OSR-style dungeon-delving.
4) Use
Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game. This bundles the necessary parts from
Basic Set,
Magic, the
Dungeon Fantasy series, and other bits and bobs into a stand-alone product; none of those or other
GURPS books are needed (though they can be tapped for added content).
That's just a handful of "recipes" for a subset of fantasy, name-dropping a handful of products. Countless other books and
Pyramid issues have stuff intended for or useful in fantasy games. Enough to choke a SM +5 storm giant.
