Well, I suppose that's one way of looking at it. I just have a slight
problem with the concept of, "Okay, you aren't a novice mage anymore, you
still have a lot of training to go through, and oh, by the way, here's
metamagic<THUMP>." Initiation is a gradual thing in the real world, why
shouldn't it be in Shadowrun?
