I'm interested also in general "drama" stuff. If a mage with some
cybernetics (say a headjack, maybe jazzed reflexes, headcomp) casts a
heavy spell, what would happen? I've been told that all the
electroplated chrome would flake off and stuff like that. I'd like
more info.. *grin*

Also, would it be possible to lessen the damage be wiring "conduits"
in the mage's body? I'm specifically thinking of maybe copper running
down the outside of the spinal chord and down the legs, or something
like that?
