That's why I ask why you would spend the extra 5 BP to become a magician when you can also do this by being a mystic adept.
It also requires you to be of a possession tradition, which then limits your options for summoning.

Of the core, I like Man. I'm a big fan of Task, Combat, and Ancestors, as well. Gives a nice range of powers, including some Spell options.
