You can do far, far worse than that, ok given time but try.
Quickness 6 + 4(locked), same int, thats reaction 10, now +3 reac, 6
levels reaction enhancer, (cybertechnology), thats 19. Lock +3D6
initative, (useful things friendly magicians), get phsad power +1d6
(maybe +2 or 3), with grade 3 for masking all foci (something the
poor sam cannot do) well above is around 20 + 5D6 or more. Ok certain
DLOH ruling might get a bit in the way, and there are far more
interesting things to do with so much character advancement but.
