I agree, and in a way this is already accounted for in the rules. A shaper
regenerates a number of boxes of damage equal to its essence rating
(Companion rules, Pg. 37-8). It is therefore the case that if cyberware is
implanted (or bioware by the core Shadowtech rules, since I'd consider a
shaper magically active) the regeneration power does not work as well or
quickly. If in general the regeneration power heals a number of boxes
equal to essence, then the above is accounted for. I think this is a good
solution especially for things like regeneration spells or physad powers.
