The sentence says "However, characters cannot astrally project or make use
of any magical skills withough the appropriate magic priority allocation."
Its referring to magical skills such as sorcery, conjuring, etc. Sure, the
percieving guy cant throw a spell, but he CAN spot the Elemental lurking in
astral space 30 ft away.

Yes it IS simple, but the question is can a complete mundane take the
magical talents. I've heard yes and no as answers.
