I think we misunderstood each other (so what's new? :) I thought you did
something like make them lose 1 Magic Point for each piece of cyberware
installed, but if I understand it correctly now, what you mean is that you
calculate the Magic stat like this:

Magic is equal to Essence, rounded down, minus Magic Loss from Deadly
wounds. (Magic = INT(Essence) - Loss)

IOW: the same way I do :)
