which interacts with the 2 points per year in a funny fashion... but that's a great reference. Some mages might spend an additional hour or two in the evening on training as well, and even without teaching, that should be more effective.

The list of spells in that book was never intended to be used in one setting. Looking at GURPS Classic Magic, I see that GURPS 4e made more mechanical fixes than I remembered, but the spell list was "every spell anyone has ever proposed for GURPS" not "spells suitable for a particular kind of setting."
I agree. But I thought the point here was to see what magic spells could be supported. The setting is going to do its own pruning, I think. So I want to take as wide a selection of spells as possible so that we can see them all get pruned.
