I've created mages with magic ratings of 1 before that would be quite
powerful, thank you. High force, low drain spells work wonders. A force 7
mana missile is still only 3M physical drain. Any mage woth the title can
resist that. Stunbolt does S damage and has a drain of 2S at force 7. A
force 13 mana dart is only 6L drain. You have any idea how much damage a
force 13 mana dart will do? It might cost you a light wound (which can be
healed easily by spell or time) but it'll cost the other guy his life more
often than not. Admittedly, you can't have any of these at chargen, but you
could have a force 5 mana missile (2M drain) or sleep (1S drain).

Damaged cyberware costs big nuyen to repair, plus the time it takes to heal
from the surgery that had to be done to make the repairs. And what's to
keep someone from stealing your cybereyes? I've had characters steal limbs
and eyes from opponents before. That's good money.
