[UA] Adept avatars

[Alex Lampros]

I say just make sure that the avatar skill and the magick arn't 
functioning off percisely the same concept, so that they conflict with 
each other slightly.  This doesn't mean it won't work.  Consider a woman 
who is obsessed with money as a means to independance.  She might be a 
Flying Women/Plutomancer.  She'll have a lot less charges (since she has 
to make money without kissing anyone's ass or working for a corporation 
she doesn't like), and her Avatar skill will be suboptimal.  But its 
doable, and she wouldn't be *completly* nuts.  She would just have very 
little perspective on the way normal people think.
