Which (according to the rules) can be raised, using karma, as high as they
want using the same cost as if it was a general skill.

Ah, I see. So your starting mage that can stomp on a street sam. is, of
course, all good role playing. Because, you know, every mage can do that,
it's just how it naturally works. The GBD is an ex UCAS marine sniper,
discharged because they thought he was to fraggin' nuts. They wanted to
just terminate him, but they realized that because of his family (his father
was a member of congress, his mother a political activist) an investigation
would happen that might look bad, therefore it was set up that he would go
to an institution for the cybernetically insane. His father was black
mailed into doing certain things to keep the media from getting a hold of
the story, and his mom never found out what happened to him. He, however,
escaped from the ward, and enter the shadows, one pissed off mother fragger.
And all of that's off the top of my head. Give me an hour and I'll tell you
what this guys mom had for breakfast the day he was born, and how that
effected him and made him like guns so much (it was really the fact that she
was lobbying against the NRA that day, but hey, that's not important now.)
