How about this answer then: If the Magic attribute undergoes a
permanent change, then Power Points will also change acordingly.
However, if Power Points change on their own (i.e.: the Adept buys
more), that change is not reflected in the Magic attribute.

In previous editions, Adepts bought their powers by directly spending
their Magic Attribute. Because of this, the sum of the points spent on
the Adept's powers always added up to the Magic attribute. This is NOT
always the case under third edition, because the Adept is now spending
Power Points, not Magic attribute.

Permanent changes in an Adept's Magic attribute will also trigger a
change in the number of Power Points, but that is not the only way the
number of Power Points can change.
