*shrug* It all depends... Lets face it, even a moderately cybered mage will
probably kick butt against normals, and even sams. But up against another
magical threat? Say, oh, three or four elementals thumping away at him? An
astral mage slamming spells through a spell lock (and I've never seen a
plan for a cybermage that didn't have locks in it... munchkins always go
overboard) would hurt. Not to mention a horde of insect spirits...

And finally... Essence Drainers like the taste of the magically active
more, I've noticed... :)

No... but if I did, I'd base it on 'Lone Wolf'.
