GURPS books can generally be split into two categories - excellent value, can't do without them texts or vaguely interesting but little used. Without a doubt this book falls into the first category. A well laid out system of magic - including spells and items - that I have found useful in fantasy, space, supers and cyberpunk campaigns. The item system is surprisingly easy to use for GURPS, but it is the section on spells that is particularly impressive. A good variety of spells in clear sections - with the ability to use off the shelf or to customise different types of wizard with little effort. I strongly recommend this one for the collection.

GURPS Magic - A much needed gaming resource
29 Sep 1998
Great book - not only is it easy to use (complete spell index with costs, times, and effects), but it really expands on the original Basic Set spells! All the elements are available, as well as Making & Breaking college, Movement college, and information on powerstones. This book is the perfect device (sometimes in conjuction with The Grimoire) to round out any Mage, Wizard, or dabbler in the mystical arts. A worthy investment for any GURPS player.

Very Good but........
18 Feb 2000
I agree with the previous reviewer except on a couple issues. I do not like the way demons are handled. They are made to be very weak against a truly good hearted person. I also think they could have made alot more mundane magic and high powered magicks. THey stuck to the middle gound and fleshed that out very well. There were very few high powered magicks explored.

GURPS Magic is one of the many competent supplements for Steve Jackson's Generic Universal Role Playing system.
Or, handy when you want to be on the receiving end of the Game Master interdimensionally hi-jacking you from the present day setting into a magic using environment. Handy for him, anyway!
