enough, almost all of them were claimed with a certainty equalling
that of the Word of God, with no room for discussion. That is almost
more interesting than whatever was said.
(Kudos to Freyson and Jestyr, the only exceptions, IIRC.. and DT, the
only one rightfully using the WoG.:).
DT commented that it says in the SRC that it is the regeneration that
causes the cyberware to be rejected. That is, of course, true.
(SRC, p. 38). He also said, end of discussion. Not quite true, but
close. :)
That implies that paying essence for something does not make it
part of the aura, whatever implications that has. But then what about
why you can cast spells through cybereyes? Why one thing and not the
other?
Someone (Barbie?) said shapechange spells change the cyber's shape,
but it ceases to work. That cannot be 100% correct - much cyber works
simply by existing.(Bone lacing, e.g.) Some cyber would lead to the
user's death if it ceased to work.. not that that's an argument
against it ceasing to work.
As an aside, even stuff with weakness/allergy will be rejected, as it
is regenerated as well, only slower. (1 box per minute, SRC P. 38).
Another commented regeneration doesn't replace mass... why not?
There's many examples of 'something from nothing' throughout SR...
or, to be more correct, something from astral. Shifters are always
dual.
