Yeah, but that's not tied to the magic level of SR, but rather to
refinements in Magic Theory (and weren't watchers and allies in the first
Grimoire, too?).

::chuckle:: I suppose you could say that someone who hasn't upped his Magic
Theory (or Magic Background) since being created in SR1 wouldn't know
anything about watchers, since they haven't kept up with SOTA.
