Default BRP "Magic" system

I suspect I might be able to find this if I dig deep enough, but am basically wanting to avoid several hours of digging. I've seen where those with Edition-zero are saying that the "Magic" system (as opposed to "Sorcery") is close to the old "Magic World" system. I assume this means each spell is it's own skill.

I'm curious if they've added the RQ 'Sorcery' skills for increasing range,duration, etc. I never played with the RQ Sorcery but from what I could see it looked like like it might well slow things down with book keeping. It also looked like beginning "Magic" user would be very weak, due to having to split a starting skill points rather widely. Also, each additional roll of the dice increases the odds of something going wrong.

Can someone explain (in small words please ) whether "Magic" is closer to "Magic World" or "RQ Sorcery"?

Thanks,
Grey
