Check out the Shadowrun Companion Edges & Flaws section (pg. 33). You can
pick up an Edge which will allow you very limited magical ability. My only
suggestion here would be watch the player who takes this carefully, it's
easy to powergame (why spend 2 magic points for astral perception as a
physad when you can spend 3 Edge points?).
