Heh... yeah. it is just an idea I have floating around in my
brain. I see that we have Cybermancy, so why not ---
Cyber-Harmony-.

It involves a full genetic cleansing, and a magical ritual which
brings a persons body / aura into harmony with his/her implants.

hence, I forsaw certain benifits:
1> regain some percentage of essence lost (say 10%-30%)
2> No evidence of cyberware in astral scans (Though airport
scanners would still detect it.)
3> Perhaps a better synergy of implants (like a free action
"eject smartgun clip", or "activate cyberware" would now
take but a thought, hence no action spent.

Note : I do see this getting very powerful, very quickly.
Howevery I do play and run high-power games, and
I think that Cybermancy can be just as Power-gaming as this.
