>>>>>[ The reason that cybermods and magic don't mix is the same
reason why AI's can't cast spells, Forge. Magic is a thing of
beauty. It's artistic, and it takes a high level of creativity and
aesthetic value even to cast something like a combat spell.
Cybermods take away a mage's humanity, creativity, and oneness with
the magic, and thus, make magic twisted and perverse, until it
doesn't even work correctly for the mage. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Could you do me a favor? Shut the hell
up. It's your personal taste but I, with as
much cybernetic and biological upgrades as
anyone you will find, am both an artist and
I design both spells, foci,what have you...

Yep, my art and humanity just went RIGHT out
the window. While I am not active, it's no
different for one of any number of mages and
adepts I have worked with or designed things
for.... ]<<<<<
