I agree with the idea that playing such a card on a Runner with gear
(cyberware) would trash the cyber. This holds with the RBT stating
that Mages and Shamans cannot use cyberware and avoids muddiness or
rules debates over the fact that my Drake with Muscle Rep and Dermal
can now sling a mighty Fireball as well.

The novel was Nosferatu. A troll street sam gets called by Bear to be
a shaman. He regrets polluting his body with cyberware but is able to
reverse the process, however at the end of the novel a free spirit is
able to force the cyber components out through his flesh in the form
of something akin to molten metal or mercury.

Obviously a combination of arcane power and artistic license. ;o)
