Although it's a very nice idea I have never incorporated it into my game.
This is due to the fact that when it comes down to it that the rules mention
nothing of the visual aspect of Adept Powers and it says that most
spell-effects caused by spells slung by Mages and/or Shamen are not visible.
It would be, in some cases, a disadvantage to force visual effects on a
player.
