Don't forget that the mage can only augment his spell's damage/whatever
roll with a number of dice from his magic pool equal to his current magic=

rating. So a mage with 4 magic/essence could only use force + 4 dice to
geek his enemy.

Another thing; No (non-masochistic) mage would cause herself physical
damage if she didn't have. Physical damage HURTS, whilst mental damage
just makes you dizzy and wobbly.
If you really wanted to do something like that you'd have to buy
platelet factory and a pain editor, and only let her cast L drain spells
(force 20 Mana dart, here I come...)

So, if you want to cyber up you'd better buy a good powerfocus too.
(I did :)

So there!
