It's about time I made this even MORE unpleasant...

Even worse... Following the idea that the less essence you have, the more
magic: You have to consider anyone of this totem would have to be cybered to
the gills, i.e. have essence near or equaling 0. So...(plug your ears again,
everyone) we've got a fully modified cyber-psycho weilding magic with a threat
rating to boost his power. Pleasant dreams, everyone...

P.S. Let me be clear that I think this idea is really, really bad... But as
I mentioned earlier, I DO know Game Masters who would pull this sort of
thing just to make their player's lives like Purgatory, I shan't name
any names, though.
