Wow, now this is a detailed answer. I'll save it just in case the
same question might arise again..

Ok, after having read your explanations, I see why cyber surgery is
that expensive. (I still find it too expensive... but since I have no
idea which tools are needed to implant a cyberarm, this discussion
might lead to nowhere)
But what if there is no cyber or bioware
involved? what if you just have a arm amputated, which counts as
drastic invasive surgery, but should be a real routine job.

I've never heard of theta or gamma cyberware... where are they
mentioned? (Fasa does not seem to stick to the greek alphabet... they
are mixing upo the letters.. ;-)

<snip magicians>

IMHO, magicians are only involved in cybermantic procedures... it
would be prohibitively expensive to employ a mage who waches the
patients aura... I guess in 2055, computers are advanced enough to do
that jobat lower cost.

Thanks for the answer.
