<Czar Eggbert>...I'd say magic has changed from SR1 and it's only been 10
years, imagine what will happen in the next 10...

<Phil Smith> ...Yeah, but none of the magic books (or very few) said "this
is new; it wasn't there before." As Gurth was saying before; they don't
attribute a lot to the magical SOTA. The way I read it is that the main
rulebook outlines what most magic users are doing. The other magic
rulebooks tell us what the wierd ones are up to...

Now see.. I read it the other way myself. I saw the things in the various
magic books as advances in magic above and beyond the stuff in the core
book. Which would make them SOTA. Of course I am also of the belief that
things like "missile weapon foci are not possible" and "magic can not
affect time or space" were put in place so that we could eventually have
*great leaps* in magical SOTA.
