In that case, here's what appears on pg 33, bottom left corner of the
page, under 'Magical Talent'
Value: Variable
Only magically active characters with active Magic Ratings of 1
or higher can purchase any of the Magical Talent Edges listed on the
table above. Acharacter whose Magic Rating drops below 1 automatically
loses all Magical Talent Edges.
Magical Talent appears underneath Magic Resistance.

Any system can be abused, flexibility only makes it easier to abuse a
system by leaving more possible loopholes. Nothing is fool-proof, there
are more than enough fools around to prove that:) The truth is that I can
turn out characters that are just as abusive of the rules no matter what
creation system I use (I can create a downright scary-a$$ human samurai
with the Sum-to-Ten system, and the one I make using the standard system
is only slightly less scary) I can do just as bad with the point system,
maybe. Any system can be abused, and the fact is that a character created
under standard rules can be just as abusive as one created under house or
optional rules systems. Yadda, yadda, yadda:) And I've seen several Troll
Sammies that were perfectly legal according to the interpretation of the
rules that I held at the time (this was not necessarily the correct
interpretation, just the one I happened to hold at the time) that I have
no other word for except "munchkin":)
