Using most of the rules from Chapter 2 of GURPS: Thaumatology (TH).
Characters can take Ritual Magery or Spell based Magery. The are different advantages. Either may learn symbol (rune) magic. In either case, Magery levels cost 10 each, except level 3 which costs 15 points and grants the use of Threshold Based magic (TH p. 76) in addition to fatigue based casting. At Magery 3, he begins with threshold 0 and recovery 2.
Staff Spell: Normally requires all living or once living material; can now be used with weapons made of mostly living or once living materials. Specifically this adds dueling polearms, spears, and other similar weapons that mass much more wood to metal. Most weapons under axe/mace do not qualify.
Ceremonial Magic: (I reserve the right to throw these rules out if too unbalancing.) Normally requires the leader to have a 15 skill. In C&S you only need a 15 effective skill level. Energy for skill can be used to buy the skill level needed, as well as conditional modifiers from Thaumotology.
