I had a player try to use Move By Wire before I banned all the non third
edition gear books. When I did ban them he at one pointed stated "I wanted
move by wire cause it's not too powerful and doesn't have all the side

So I quoted off all the fun things that can happen to someone using it...
and got silence.
