<snip question about low light goggles>

@ Ummm, no, I don't believe so. The reason for this is that with the
@ cybereyes, he has paid the essence costs, and as such, the abilities and
@ bonuses the eye gives is considered natural, the same way low-light is on an
@ ork... With the goggles, it's not natural vision. I believe this falls
@ under the same reasoning you can't use a telescope to cast at longer
@ ranges... (Not sure where that's from, but I remember reading it... Maybe
@ main book or Grimoire..)

I could be wrong, but I believe that you cannot cast through
eletronically enhanced images, opticals are fine though. You can cast
through a pair of binocs (optica) but not through image enhancement
goggles.

Wait thats a nice gizmo for a mage to pick up. The electronic
image enhancers, cost isn't that bad 0.1 essence, get rating 3 cost
11K. Hmmm. An idea I had better not tell to my GM, let him run
around carrying binoculars. <grin>
