If optical imaging is so great (allows the use of magic), why bother to
get electronic mag?

Not picking on anyone, curious as to why?

Wrong!!!

Electro-Magnification, even in cybereyes, will proclude the use of magic. The
reason being auras. Even though you paided perfectly good essense for those
electrically maginified cybereyes, you can't cast spells because you can no
longer see an aura. Electronic Magnification works by having the base image
that comes into the eye broken down into components and then having a computer
enlarge the proper pieces, do some graphical smoothing, and then transfer it to
the brain in place of the real image. You now have a magnified picture of your
target. Unfortunately your cybereyes cannot see into astral space, and thus
cannot see the targets aura. Thus you don't recieve a magnified picture of the
targets aura. In fact you get NO picture of the targets aura. If you put
electronic image maginifaction in your cybereyes, all images will be routed
through them. You now cannot cast spells at all! This answers the age old
question, "Why are their both Electronic and Optical available?" The answer:
"So mages can get op mag and still cast spells."
