Does anyone know how the old Advanced Wizard rules for magic compare to
the GURPS magic rules? Or, in general, how GURPS compares to The Fantasy
Trip? This is an excellent system no longer in print, also made by Steve
Jackson. 

I like the Adv. Wizard system of creating magic items much more then 
the system of Fantasy Hero. However, the system of creating new spells
was the guesswork and approximation seen in games like AD&D.
