The document is entitled "Magical Ability Breakdown" by Steve Kenson. I
think it's an excellent breakdown of the different magical abilities
available in Shadowrun. I use it in my game, and you may find it useful as
a reference for Magical Edges (as compared to the Comanion's version).

I have e-mailed Mr. Kenson a few times back and forth about these
abilities, and I feel he is a very patient and helpful person. If you have
any questions about the magical abilities presented in his document, you
can send him an e-mail and I am sure he won't mind. :) The e-mail links
are on his page.

Happy reading!
