> How do you create skills (general/concentration/specialization)
You try to find a place for it in the skill web; you decide (for game
balance), how useful/potent the skill is; and you compare that against
other skills. To make a new skill `expensive', you break it up into
skills that have to be purchased independently.
> How about magic though? Would an assensing magician be able to see through
the disguise?
Not if the disguise was internal - implants, cheek padding, padded clothing,
light makeup, skin dyes, contact lenses, wig (hair is dead anyway), altered
posture. But Hollywood-style rubber masks - sure, that's going to be visible
astrally.
Sherlock Holmes was a master of the type of disguise that would even fool
a shadowrun mage. Read some Conan Doyle for ideas...
