The general consensus (thought a few of us have different opinions :)
is that the body index of bioware is subtracted from a mage's body
index and Magic rating, but it should *not* affect their essence.

So, a mage with cyberware that has an essence cost of .5, and bioware
with a BI of.75, would have an effective Magic of 4 ((6 - (.5 + .75) 4.75).
