Yes. Once you've spent all your 6 Magic Points, you're "full."

Once spent, you cannot spend them again on different powers. But don't
despair, read on :)

In the Grimthingy is what is called "initiation" -- you spend loads of Karma
to buy yourself extra Magic Points. A physad can then spent these MP on new
powers.

As we've discussed before (especially Jani, Bob, and Damion :) a physad is
weaker than a street sam when both have been newly designed. Add in a few
initiation grades, and a physad usually equals or exceeds a sam.
