Mystic Adept/Maximum Force, What is max force for a mystic adept? Options

[bahwi]

Ok, so I see, and have read, the previous thread and it doesn't seem to come to a conclusion.

To me, "Every point of Magic invested in mana-based abilities grants the character one point to use with Magic-based skills." explains it.

But the next parts, "For all other purposes, including the determination of
the maximum level for adept powers, the character’s full Magic
attribute is used. Such a character will not have as many adept
powers as most other adepts, nor will they be able to cast spells
with the same skill as true magicians." really throw it for a loop.

Yes, I understand it's the GM's call, but a maximum force of 2 and 12 really do not compare. (1 and 6 w/out overcasting)

And it says "can not cast spells with the same skill..." Is that literaly skill or not?

For some background, the character in question is a (cool concept) antimagic mystic adept, and his only spell is Mana Static, which relies on successes(which is dependent on force) and a ruling one way can change everything the other way.

I just want to get some clear logic(or if there has been an official ruling? I feel like this is hackmaster now, heh). But also, is the Mystic Adept with a Magic of 1 for spellcasting weakened enough with his max force being based off of his total attribute and missing a few dice on the rolls, or not? This, of course, barring an official ruling. I don't want to make the character not fun to play(although he swears left and right he'll change it if he needs to).

Thanks everyone, it's been forever since I've been on the forums!
