What are the best magical systems in GURPS?

That's my aim with my current spell system. Magic as Powers with each power (that uses any rolls) being attached to a skill that already exists. This gives a neat 'upgrade' feel to regular skills when you start using magic. That and the myriad of accessory perks that turn a skill into a 'tools-less' spell. It combines both the feel of having to study to be a mage (gotta learn your skills!) and the variability to let a mage be any role instead of the normally generalist that a lot of magic systems tend to push.
