You'll need to be more specific.  The basic "rules" about using magic was
unchanged in 3rd edition, so far as I can recall, but many spells were
altered, some colleges of magic added and some removed.

IMO the spell alterations were overall for the worse (many spells were
arbitrarily reduced to NEGATIVE base chances, for instance!) although a
small number were improved; the added colleges were good (but were not "new"
to anyone who had seen a copy of "Arcane Wisdom" or the issues of Ares that
featured them) and the deleted colleges were sorely missed.
