No magic and no Cyber ? well, talk about guys with guts...

Seriously, it reminds me of a Palladium game named Beyond the Supernatural,
whre most PCs have psychic powers, except one "class" who is a Nega-psychic.
Exactly the same thing. Except it was explained as a power psychical in nature
indeed, but that manifested itself as a nega-field because the character refused
to believe in psy !
Well, I dunno. It can bring magical power down a bit ( "OK, mage, you've
thrown all your goddamned fireballs at me, now it's my turn..." ). But it also
lacks a real integration in the Shadowrun background...

On this subject, does anyone have info on the magical background of Shadowrun?
I seem to recall having read in an ad. a text from a elven mage who spoke about
ancient atlantide traditions, and other things... Any info on that ? Future
products ?
