Yes, but (as with the ways and paths) brought more into line with more
mainstream magical traditions.

I think the point was that if the GM has access to those books, so do
his NPCs - which means the players need them to stand a chance.

Which is, of course, drek - for MOST GMs. Unless your GM's an evil
bastard, you'll usually end up only facing equivalent or slightly
superior firepower. If you guys, as players, decide that you're only
going to pack light pistols and wear armoured vests as standard, most
GMs will appreciate that and only toss you up against equivalently
equipped goons under normal circumstances. If you decide to do that and
your GM routinely hoses you with cybered, assault rifle-armed and
military-armoured goons, you REALLY need to talk to him. With a
baseball bat.

Or you need to move away from Europe.
