They have also increased the amount of Magical Threats ( Toxics, Wraiths,
Insects, Blood Magic, and the new Year of the Comet Stuff), There are
more classes of Magics ( Voudun, WuXun) More types of spirits (Spirits of
the Elements, Ancestor Spirits, Loa), more types of magicians ( adepts,
Aspected magicians, physical mages) And finally more metahumans and a
wider spread of them( It started out that meta's were priority A now they
are C or D) Drain between SR1 and SR2 was halved (SR1 was F SR2 was
.5F)And finally they also state in MitS that the number of magic users
has jumped from 1% to over 2%.
I'd say magic has changed from SR1 and it's only been 10 years, imagine
what will happen in the next 10.
