Just the beginning? If such an adept were to exist (until I see
FASA's rules it's just rumor) then it would just enchant, period. They
wouldn't particularly make great PC's and you shouldn't have to go and
give them special powers so they can be players. That's life. It's just
like why Sasquatches aren't given PC stats, engaging in game activities
(Shadowruns and the like) go against their basic pacifistic nature.
Sasquatches aren't any more prone to go on a killing spree than deer are.
In other words not everything is a valid player option, not because of
game balance but because of practicality.
-K, your games tend to run High-end power game and your idea might
mesh there, but I think you'll find it overpowered for general use.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
