Actually, we've always played under the rule (optional and probably strictly
house, although I think the book mentions it) That the mainreason for Magic
loos is that most bioware is Invasive surgery... They have to roll a
resiste\ance test, same as if they'd taken deadly damage, to avoid losing
magic, otherwise they are fine and can use it. this helps them keep up with
the chromed sammies some...:)

Well, that my HO on the subject, what do you think, sirs?
