Okay; they're not opposing forces, but it is easier to cast spells on
objects with a lower object resistance, cyberware makes it harder to cast
health spells on people. That and the fact that you can get the same effect
from certain cyberware as you can spells, but never both at once. So I
guess, yeah; they don't mix too good.
