Well, only if you get enough stuff put in...

Okay, somewhere at the start of Shadowtech it says that a mage has to pay
Essence *and* Body Index for bioware. (and thus by losing Essence they
lose Magic) However, since most people figure that that makes bodyware
even worse for a mage than cyberware is, and they also figure that FASA
just threw it in in a hurry to stop mages munchkinning out, most people
re-interpret it to mean that "Mages lose Magic _in the same way_ for
bioware as they do for cyberware." It's the only sane interpretation of
that rule I've seen. A mage's essense is really no different from anyone
else's; it shouldn't be attacked by bioware when no-one else's is.
