Like RAT said, fetishes are not active - and the best argument for this is that
ANYONE can make a fetish if they have the skill, but only an active person can
make a focus.

Cyberware is protected and intergrated into your system, if you try o do the
protection to fetish - your going to just screw it up since it isn't the fetish
you need anymore.

Yes EHRAN did do that - but do you remember the description of EHRAN?!?!?!
It basically said - Ehran is REALLY POWERFUL he can do things in his sleep that
can't even imagine doing, let alone trying to do them.
