Pretty much, yeah. I did a character inspired by him in another thread, and considered doing another but am so far going with Will for the other one. In the case of the linked character, his (psi-based) magic uses 'Expert Skill (Muscle Mystery) [ST/H]' as the core skill, and is based on Modular Abilities (Only for Allies with Summonable and Minion), but there are a number of other ways one could do a Muscle Wizard.

The character that I thought about using ST-based casting for was going to use a perk to base Intimidation on ST, and then use Intimidation as the core skill of a Path/Book style (which you could do with Muscle Mystery), but I decided that the character made more sense with a higher level of Will anyway, and so left Intimidation as a Will-based skill.
