But now not only will every adept have 6 Magic, every adept will now have 2 of the 5 priorities locked in with no variety: Magic D, Attributes A.
Well pretty much everyone should have attributes A locked in.  But hey, Magic D is a fine choice for anyone other than Mysads.  Aspected conjurers are the same as adepts, all their chargen power gains can be bought.  And for everyone else, well, spells are cheap as chips after the game begins.

Quote from: CRB (2nd Printing), p. 156
The key measurements of power in adepts are their power points. These points are used by adept characters to buy the powers that will enhance their abilities. Whenever adept characters gain or lose a point of Magic, they also gain or lose a power point. This means that an adept character who starts with a Magic rating of 4 also starts with 4 power points. Power points do not need to be spent when they are obtained; characters can hold on to them and use them when ready.

and p. 66:

"Adepts focus all of their magic inward, fueling their talents with their innate ability to pull mana in rather than channel it outward. Due to this physical connection to their magic, they cannot astrally project and only gain the ability to astrally perceive through training. Adepts have a pool of points equal to their Magic that they use to purchase adept powers. For more information on adepts, see p. 156."
