I dont think this answeres the question that was asked, at least not directly,
so et me take a stab at it.
Basicly, Yes, you can buy more power points. The LIMIT described by the Magic
attribute is on how much mojo you can put into any one power. Therefore, an
adept who only buys power points and never initiates would have a large number
of different powers at up to level 6 (although I do belive that some powers
have a lower limit).
Now. if an adepts magic rating changes, several things are going to happen.
First, the adept would gain or lose a power point based on which way the magic
attribute changed. However, for a non initiated adept this could be a
disaster after a time, as it could force the magic rating below the level of
one or more of his powers, causing him to loose those as well.
On the other side of the coin, if an adept DOES initiate, not only does he get
another power point, but more importantly, that increase in his Magic
attribute opens up a new level of power he can acchieve.
I should also point out that these statments are a synthasis from what I Read
in the books and my understanding of what ya'll here on the list are saying.
