Shadowtech, somewhere in the first couple of pages. To be precise, ST says
that magicians suffer Essence loss equal to the body Cost of the bioware
-- so a magician taking a pain editor receives a Body Cost of .6, and also
loses .6 Essence.
Many people use a house rule that says you don't lose Essence, but figure
the Body Cost as if it *were* Essence loss, to calculate the Magic Rating.
A magician with only a pain editor would then have an Essence of 6, but a
Magic Rating of 5.
