Your Magic rating is nearly always (see below for an exception) equal to
your Essence attribute, rounded down to the nearest whole number -- IOW,
chop off all numbers after the decimal point/comma (depending on where in
the world you are :) Thus, a magician with a datajack has an Essence of
5.8, and a Magic rating of 5.

You can increase your Magic rating through initiation; this is covered in
the Grimoire, and presumably in the upcoming Magic In The Shadows; you
CANNOT simply increase your Magic attribute like you can with your Mental
and Physical attributes (Intelligence, Body, etc.).
