Right. But the nature of the damage is determined by the mage's magic
rating, and the debate was about cyberware increasing the damage a mage
takes from casting a spell. I'm just saying that a mage with cyberware
will be taking lasting damage instead of damage he can shrug off quickly.
It won't be more boxes of damage, but the nature of the damage for a
cybered mage will be worse.
