I'm still sure I don't know how the argument became about naked runners.

ONLY one magic point in 24 hours. Gee, that's reassuring. That's sorta
like saying the civil war wasn't all that bad because hardly anybody lost
more than one limb in a battle. Unless the cost of initiation is at least
halved or MASSIVE karma awards are given the loss of a magic point is a big
deal. But let's not get sidetracked, as the rules stand noew the possible
loss of Magic through stim patches is fine because it is possible to cast
two or three spells of moderate force in combat without having to use a
stimpatch. Change the drain to F and this changes. If that's what you
want the price of casting magic to be in your campaign (ala Nightlife) then
fine, play it that way. But I still hold that it is bad idea to change the
default rule to F.
