Thanks to the dear sir who typed that in;
After reading that article two questions popped into my mind:

1) What about damaging manipulations like Fire Bolt? Damaging
Manipulations create the physical matter (fire) and then hurl it against
the target. Even though the fire was created via magic, it is still fire
that hits its target. Since Nega-Mages are still vulnerable to fire, acid,
electricity, Oreo cookies, etc. they should be hurt by damaging
manipulations. I'm sure somebody could come up with a response derived
from the rectal region, but I don't think it would fly. I think there is a
whole in the premise presented in the article where I think Negas should be
vulnerable to Elemental Damaging Manipulations.

2) How is a Nega Mage created? Does the first priority have to go
to magic? Here is where the article is rather nebulous or The Count
decided to stop typing. (I'm leaning towards the first, good Prussians
finish the job!)

There are my questions. Any answers?
