you don't need the boosted reflexes, just use a sustaining spell focus
with increase reflexes +3.
Use a sustaing spell focus with enhance Aim. Save the essence for cyber
eyes with magnification and thermo and don'y forget a rangefinder. Ears
can work miracles and so can the Math Spu and chipjack. Pay for betaware
at the start if the GM allows you to start with these.
If you fancy rigging get a second datajack and a VCR (first lvl paid
beta, or delta if possible) and skill wires 5 or 6 with CED for the
extra pool.
Then start initiaing fast to get that magic up,up,up...
All the while keep making orichalcum to make a decent power focus to
help you with the low magic.
Start with Computer, pistols or launch weapons(if your INT is
low),sorcery, conjuring, enchanting and get etiqutte related knowledge
skills to compensate for the lack of social active skills.
