Unless you assume that the thread is hard to follow.

What I would say is that a projecting mage's aura is "two" auras
(actually the same aura) linked by a thread. The main (projecting) aura
is much stronger than secondary (meat body) aura and so although you can
read anything from the meat aura that you can from the projecting aura,
it is much harder. I would, off the top of my head, say to increase the
T# by 1 for every point (or fraction thereof) of Essence loss (temporay
or permanent) from cyber/bio, astral projection, etc...
Sound good?
