Oh look, this is just plain silly. Okay, CS, like all the other
sourcebooks has that "not verified" waiver from Shadowland on it.
However, something like dual nature is just too bloody easy to verify. If
it was dual natured, then every mage that saw it would know, as it would
show up "more brightly" on the Astral, and the corps wouldn't keep it
around because it would be a security threat. QE bloody D (as my
lecturers used to say when someone kept asking silly questions) it's NOT
dual natured or astrally active.

It's both, actually, but it's the aura that counts.
