GURPS Earthdawn

I know there have been a bunch of GURPS conversions for Earthdawn over the years, and since I've used the current Christmas in July sale at DriveThruRPG I have also become interested in this issue.

Here are my initial thoughts:

- Each adept path has its own GURPS "Adept Talent", which covers the core skills of that path. It also counts as "Power Talent" for the power-ups of that path, and should likely cost 10 CP/level.

- Most of the Earthdawn talents for that path can be described as "Power-Ups" in the style of GURPS Dungeon fantasy, with prerequisites based on skill level, talent level, or other advantages. They should generally have the Magic power modifier (-10%).

What I am unsure of is how to model spellcasting and spell matrixes. Any ideas?
