This needs more comment.
It is also noteble that medkits give up at deadly wounds, you then
need a hospital. Magic healing working beyond is very nice.
Folks with an essence of 6 usually in my experience have +3D6
initative etc etc so wouldn't agin from lots of cyber, ok if i ever
manage to find some players who refrain (or can be pursuaded to) on
the wired 2, high essence mundanes may be a valid enough option.
Its somewhat a matter of preference but allowing treat spells to work
on folks on a D or more gives magic a huge! advantage over mundane
healing methods, and contemplate the idea of floks going in for cyber
surgery, mage visiting the next day and they are out, up and about!
