Phase Modulation with the phasor~ Object

I'm trying to use phase modulation in my Max/MSP class. Does anyone know how I could do this? phasor~ expects a float for the phase input, so this was my effort to do that. It still doesn't work.
Additionally, I have no idea how to figure out what the phase input expects. If I modulate it with another object like this, do I have to multiply a [-1 to 1] wave to [-2pi to 2pi] for the modulation index to attenuate from there? Every time I try to test this with a plot, I'm lost figuring out if the phase input's already in terms of pi or 2pi, if it is at all.
[phasor~]
[+~ 0.] <-modulate phase here
[%~ 1.]
and i´d use [cos~], because it has the *pi magic built-in.
[cos~] would require a + 0.75 phase offset, which you now can add before you go to signal, since you are modulating the phase already anway.
