If I remember right, the manual stated that psionics works
different then magic as far as technology is concerned. This was
justifying the affects of the psionist in the matrix. If that is the
case, why would a replacement arm affect psionics at all? It has nothing
to do with the mind. I could see headware having a negative effect.
One other big question. What is the difference between psionics
and magic? Everything seems to work just like magic. There is still the
price to pay for loosing essence, so it does not benefit samuris or
anyone else who has low essence. The skills seem to be a lot like spells.
Why not just make more spells with the same effects?
I know that a big difference is use within the matrix, but a good
decker these days will have their haeds filled with headware. Thus, they
are paying the price for low essence.
Reactions?
