What, exactly, do the *'s in the tables represent?

Astral is not something you "get" any longer. Remember, we decided that
both astral perception and astral projection would be meta-abilities.
Now, one issue that must be dealt with is whether adepts can get
meta-abilities, or how exactly adepts work in the long-term.

It was my understanding that a Wild Psi was basically an adept that has
just recently expressed, or has at least received no training.
Wild Psis are give a rating of two in one dicipline, but do not learn any
abilities. The only thing they can do is to hack a power at a force no
greater than 1.
Now, as they get Karma, they can further train.
An adept, on the other hand, _is_ allowed to get abilities and this
represents on much farther down the training line than a wild. This is
different than the old way of only a single ability at some ungodly
power.

The first part of that sentence should read: The target can attempt to
break out each turn using dice equal to his willpower and augmented by
allocations from his psionics pool.
