That's just it. Physads, when played correctly, have the same (or at
least similar) obsession that mages have. Take a look at todays
martial artists and athletes for example. They are CONSTANTLY
training. At least the ones that are actually serious about it
(those also have a distinct tendency to be the best at what they do).
THAT is the price that physads pay, the time and effort spent in
training, to keep their bodies and minds honed to a razor sharp edge.
Take a break (or even quit) training, and they lose that edge.

And the concept of bioware actually seems kinda realistic to me. It
makes sense, IMO. :)
