Once learned, the spell may be used to fulfill prerequisites for other spells.ĮXAMPLE: A mage with One-College-Only Magery in the Illusion college could learn and cast Illusion spells normally. (If that spell requires Magery, he can not learn it, because his One-College-Only Magery does not apply outside the one college.) To cast that spell, he will need to find a High Mana Zone.
He can learn a spell outside that college, provided he meets all prerequisites for that spell. The rules for a mage with One-College-Only Magery are no different. To cast a spell, the character must know the spell, and have Magery in that college or be in a High Mana Zone. Magery is often not a requirement to learn a spell, and some spells have no prerequisites at all – anyone can learn them. To learn a spell, a character must know all the prerequisites for that spell. 4.1.5 How does One-College-Only Magery affect spell prerequisites? You're simply more talented with some spells than others. 4.1.4 Can you mix regular and aspected Magery? Permanent spells and enchantments are merely suspended, and resume their normal function once they leave the NMZ. Temporary and lasting spells are simply dispelled by a no mana zone (NMZ). 4.1.3 Which spells are canceled by a no mana zone?

Spells that have ongoing, permanent effects (e.g., Enslave, Great Geas, Zombie) are permanent spells. Spells that have ongoing effects that require no fatigue to maintain, but which have a limited effective duration (e.g., Bless, Continual Light, Curse), are lasting spells. Spells that require fatigue to maintain (e.g., Charm, Light) are temporary spells. Non-instantaneous spells fall into four basic categories. Spells with instantaneous effects (e.g., Awaken, Deathtouch) never count as spells "on". 4.1.2 What sorts of spells count as spells "on"? The spells can be much more far-reaching than standard GURPS magic, but they are more subtle, and usually take long enough to cast that they are not usable in combat except by extremely powerful casters. Extended rituals, mystical symbols, and sacrifices can increase the effectiveness, but usually aren't necessary. The basic idea is that the caster is calling upon a willful, self-aware power to grant him or her the magical effect asked for.
