trading karma for power pts wasnt in sr2, its a new thing.

initiation still has its advantages to adepts. adepts can raise their magic
attribute, and they can learn centering, divining and masking. they can also
shed a geas. i think they can also change their astral signature (or is this
merely spell related?).
