It's not so much a 1:1 mapping. but a note that it can be Vulnerability, Weakness, or both should be there.

There are also many places where what the Update says are no longer true:

Inherent Magic (Knacks) - ... "Knacks are not constructed by reference to a spell any more".

Which is fine until you get to Fixed Magic in GURPS Fantasy which specifically mentions that is how to make knacks. To add to the conversion migraine Thaumatology doesn't even mention Fixed magic even where it was totally relevant (ie the Magical Advantages section)
