I don't remember whether I've asked this one already or not but...

Adepts of the Magical way can use the sorcery skill, they have a magic
attribute...

So do they have a spell pool? MitS is a little vague on the matter (alright
it's a lot vague, to the point where it doesn't say a word - that I can
find - on the matter.)

If they do have a spell pool, how is it worked out?

Does one use the Adept's own Magic attribute or do you use the "virtual"
magic attribute granted by the "Magical Power"?

I'd say they do.

IMHO it'd be best to work it out using the "virtual" Magic Attribute rather
than the full one, because this makes an adept with this power not as good
a magician as a full mage/shaman or a sorcerer.

I personally would allow the pool 'cause it's used to support the usage
of Sorcery, and I don't see a reason why an Adept of the Magical way
shouldn't receive this support. I mean everybody who's able to fight has
a Combat Pool, so everybody who's able to cast spells should have a
Spell Pool.

I would go with the virtual magic attribute, as this represents the part
of the magic, that is used for sorcery.
