Hi guys. I have a pretty simple question, but there is no answer in any book i think. All my SR books are in english, so i have problems to find my way through that crap. So here i go: As Magician-Adept (i dont even know its the right word) you have that splitted magic-attribute. And of course you have a maximum of (Magic)x2 spells. So if i´ve got, for example Magic 6 and splitted it to 2 on spells and summoning and 4 in adept-powers, how many spells can i buy for BP? 4 or 12 as regular? Hope for an fast answer, thanks in advance and sorry for bad english.

The maximum number of spells you can learn at character creation is equal to 2X your Spellcasting or Ritual Spellcasting skills. (Guessing which ever is higher.) Each spell learned costs 3 build points.

Being a magical adept only limits your maximum casting force of the spell before suffering physical drain.

Example: If you 3 points into magic, max force before physical damage would be 3 or 6 with physical drain.

Hope that helps.

Thought he maximum number of spells you can learn at character creation is equal to 2X your Magic? Okay thats another point, thank you much for that fast answer!

Yes. The number of spells is limited by Spellcasting (or Ritual Spellcasting) skill, not Magic attribute. If you have 1 Magic, but 6 Spellcasting, you can start with 12 spells. If you have 6 Magic, but 1 Spellcasting, you can learn 2 spells.

By the way, the phrase you're thinking of is "Mystic Adept".
