I was meaning artisitc license in the vein of an author going against
Shadowrun cannon. Pretty much every SRRPG source out there will tell
you Essence lost is Essence gone. You cannot regain lost Essence by
removing cyberware. (Except for a small percentage possibly be
regained by upgrading the component per optional rules in SSC and
Cybertechnology).
Still, the Nosferatu novel describes the troll shaman getting the
cyber pushed out of his body and apparently his Essence/Magic
attribute returned to him whole.
