I might start doing this in my game. Currently, I've only described the
cyber presenting dead zones or blank areas in cybered auras. But what this
leads to is the shaman or the elementalist in my group identifying where the
cyber is and it gives them a good guess about what the 'ware is.

And I do like the idea of low essence characters harder to spot in astral
because of the low glow. [heh, heh.]
