So... not using GURPS's spell list but rather "Thaumatology" and "Thaumatological Engineering."

Or to keep things GURPS-ish... GURPS technology scale has "Tech Levels" 0 for Stone age, 14 for Clarke-ian 'might as well be magic.' Modern tech right now is at the low end of 8, and the high end of 7. Weird tech, like Steampunk/dieselpunk/etc, is notated as, for example, TL 5+3. This is where a standard of living very much like our own is delivered with far more Steam than Electricity, or a fin de siecle vision of "the future!" Fenspace itself is listed as "TL 8^" for having "superscience."

On a similar scale for magic, "Normal" magic would be, at this point, TL 3 (Classic spell list stuff) to TL 8 (same stuff, just acknowledging that tech has increased.)

I'm thinking that Mal is trying for a magic TL 0+8, or completely different tech tree from the ground up?
