Wait a minute here. A PhysAd doing conjuring? Where did that come from?

The reason there are different adept type is that they have access to
different abilities. Sorcery Adepts can _only_ cast spells. Conjuring
Adepts can _only_ deal with spirits. Physical Adepts _only_ use their
unique abilities.

The only way you should be able to change this is limitig the number of
magic points allocated for PhysAd abilities. This is the way FASA created
the Physical-Mage. The more magic that is alocated to the "Sorcery Magic
Rating," the less you have to get normal PhysAd abilities.

For a Physical-Conjurer, a similar trade off should be in effect. (bare
with me, I'm making this up as I work through the whole twisted concept)
The character should transfer points from the standard magic raiting to a
special "Conjuring Magic Rating." The PhysCon (wow, what a title) uses his
Charisma as usual for conjuring tests, but can use no more than his
"Conjuring Maic Rating."

Does any of this make sence. I have managed to confuse myself with this
one. I don't have any books handy, so if any one can clarify these
ideas I would greatly appreciate it.
