The thing I really wanted to emulate for alignment-based rules in wizards, though, was that black-robes rise to power faster while white gained more power in the long run.

Alignment is one of those things that IMHO doesn't really transfer to GURPS very well. For example, Pirates are (generally) Chaotic Evil but in GURPS they, odds are, will have Code of Honor (Pirate) which D&D would consider a Lawful Trait.

The Dragon article "For King and Country" (Dragon #101 Sept 1985) explored going with a trait system and the reasons the alignment tended to have issues.
