--would be like tossing out portions of the RBB, Virtual Realities, and
Shadowtech just because some of the items therein are too powerful.

Well, yes. You don't have to use all of the stuff they publish, and
if you can give both game-balance and tangible reasons for something not
to exist and don't want it in your game, then don't use it.

I agree that the Reverend's proposal for cyberconjurors was harsh, and concur
whole-heartedly with whoever brought up the Banishment contest. As to a
double screw on Charisma affecting both the target number & number of dice
on Spirit drain, I don't think it's so bad. Nonetheless, subbing Magic
Rating or even Willpower for Charisma in such a test isn't a bad idea.

As for cyber or bioware enhanced charisma attributes affecting TNs for
spirit summong, someone (you know who you are) I believe did that and was
able to summon Force 10 spirits with little difficulty (I could be wrong,
those enhancements could have been raised attributes & magic). But I vote
NO on tech help in magic.
