OK I can see a point there but you have options, all you need is cash and
time. (those things are a lot easier to come by than Karma points.) Also
when you are replacing these things or improving the character to gain
essence or whatever your Karma can be used to increase your attributes or
aquire new skills whereas a mage who has to spend a lot of Karma (check the
Grimoire if you don't believe me) just to initiate once, doesn't have a
whole hell of a lot left over.

state of awe or make them flee in panic. Unfortuneately it can also do all
of these things to me "
