*Evil GM chuckle...* use the surgery rules to see vary the actual Essence
cost of the cyber. Then keep Essence as a hidden stat (let the players have
the rounded-down figure, especially for astrally-aware folks, as they could
work that out). Given that the Essence implant can vary by as much as 25%
using the surgery rules, mages will be a _lot_ more reluctant to cyber to
the max, as they could wake up a total mundane.
