I am of the opinion that technomancers use magic. When you read how technomancers interact with the resonance (they are unable to fully explain what it is or how it works, many people describe it differently but ultimately it gets results) it bears a huge resemblance to how mages interact with mana. Consider there were no spirits of man before man evolved, no tree spirits when no trees existed, no spirits of cities before the city came to be. As such there cannot be any spirits of the comlink or spirit of the drone before those were made. Once upon a time mage spell casting and shaman spirit summoning was completely mutually exclusive as well, but overtime with enough study shamans and mages learned to share their powers with each other. Technomancers are just magic users that have not been able to fully study their powers to codify it in a sharable fashion and resonance is just mana merged with the matrix.

But magic "disappearing" from the world in low magic ages doesn't remove magic from the world. Firstly people can still use their own spirit, and there were mages in no magic eras that just achieved their own awakening through actual meditation and enlightenment and are usually very wise individuals. So magic can still function in low magic ages, it's just not as easy to draw it from your enviroment, or call spirits. Instead of the luck of the draw thing when awakening with the bringing of a high magic age. That's how a lot of ancient elves didn't die of old age, despite living through low magic ages.

Small corrections, mages aren't inherently dual-presence being.

Had a mage that had a .. natural .. invisibility and forgetfulness where very few people even after spending a couple of days around him remember ever meet him. My PC was in the back sit behind the driver and the car got hit, then they joking put my PC behind the passage window and the car got hit again, to carry the joke they made my PC sit in the middle of the car so other people will see the car and quit driving into it. He was the child in class that no one ever bother to pay attention too, listed as abstain. Automatic doors would not open for him cause computer sensors don't pick him up. He also got lost easy even with building lay out plans. b.) Had a Wolverine with a kinetic/thermal damping field, he was pure slap stick where stray bullets always hit him. He also suffer from partial invisibility/forgetfulness. Waiters never ask him what he wants to drink. He walked into a high security location all by himself, but after three hours of play he couldn't find the person who had the key card to open the door to steal the equipment. He had to make a charisma check DC:15 or high just to draw people attention when he talked to them. In game joke half the PC party though the other half was talking to an imaginary friend or astral being. We never played a serious game, but the F--ded up crew that somehow by The Grace of G*D got the job done. c.) " The guy who wasn't there " was also played in other Star Wars games. His ship was on an ISD for half a year cause no one wanted to bother to look at let along go on to his ship. Vader barely notice him around. The perfect assassin that no one remembers hiring. Due to locking mechanisms he had to stand around for hours waiting for someone to open the door with the correct clearance codes.

And thus no mage wants to be appearing as mage on first sight. Well...my mage does pretty well avoiding bullets by being so ster.eotypical in ap.pearance that simply no one thinks that hes a mage. He has it all fake wizard beard, robe with flashy sigils and chro.matic threads to change colors in pr.eprogr.amed patterns, a huge elaborate magical staff with saphire in it, always wearing the hood of his robes, a mystical headband...he is such a cliche not even other mages bother ascen.sing him cause that dude is so obvio.usly fa.king it...wearing ammunition belts, 2 heavy pistols and a sword, a not really hidden combat armor underneath the robe and even a fa,ke cyb.erarm (costume draped over real arm). Obviously when he starts casting everyone is aware what he is but....only when he casts his first combat spell and not before That said he is also incredibly annoying to the team and they cringe everytime he opens his mouth. Luckily for him he is such a competent mage that he is just irreplacable. He once took out an entire ares spec ops team all by himself with one ice storm spell. Just saying, being able to make the entire team invisible, heal and cast walls out of nowhere is also very usefull

He even got to summon Mulciber once as a Force 16 spirit with the help of some FUNKY reagents, a godtier roll, and a really stupidly powerful lodge. 1 force 16 spirit vs 20 Knight Errant.... yeah, the Ares cash cops didnt stand a chance

To combine two separate things you mentioned (blood magic and the ethics of reagents), Blood Magic specifically is fueled by the suffering inflicted on the victim, with blood as the medium for drawing out all that negative energy. Most things in the books are apocryphal, but the wording of the Sacrifice ritual supports this. It's most effective against sapient creatures, and draws power by inflicting *harm*, with more power drawn from unwilling victims than voluntary recipients. The self can also be used for blood sacrifice without any loss of essence showing that it's not actually soul-related like vampirism. Another note, again apocryphal and theoretical by the in-universe characters, is that Essence is likely not the soul itself but rather the connection between the body and soul. A wared up Sam with half an essence left didn't lose their soul (at least not by the ware) but their soul and life are hanging onto their body by an ever fraying thread. For all it's flaws, Forbidden Arcana covers most of the (5th edition) blood magic stuff and the essence thing is mentioned in a few books, including that one.

Personal theory. It's not a matter of overlap with various metaplanes, but with one specific metaplane, the spiritual version of our material plane which once coexisted with us as something like World Zero. This is why free spirits have access and why what seem like nature/natural spirits are so common(because that meta plane is populated with the spirits from our physical creatures). The 1st world was noted as something different because of the jarring caused by separation, and leaving this world aware that it had lost its magic. It takes awareness of change to start recording a cycle. Also, it's less about proximity than it is about "alignment". Imagine looking at "the planes" from a distance and like teeter-totter/see-saw playground toys they pass in and out of alignment with each other. Now slightly more complex, they are planes and not just flat lumber, so imagine large watery surfaces moved by waves, each out of phase with each other except for those rare moments were waves in both planes perfectly align. That area where those two waves align is the Astral Plane. Our earth is but a speck floating in one of these oceans of waves, and only occasionally are we within that Astral Plane. This leads to 3 possibilities. 1st both planes are in a stable wave state and the changing of worlds is consistent and eventually predictable. 2nd unstable wave states mean that moments of alignment will be far less common than periods of being out of phase, perhaps even increasingly so. Third, the waves states have limited energy and the frequency and length of alignments will increase and eventually permanent alignment will occur(a return to World Zero).

ChatGPT says: "Yes, there is indeed a reference to a group of military adepts with Shark as their mentor spirit in the Shadowrun universe. The group you're referring to is the Shark Men, a specialized unit of military adepts from Hawaii. This group is detailed in the sourcebook "Street Magic," which is part of the fourth edition of Shadowrun. Key Details: Shark Men: This is a military unit comprised of adepts who have Shark as their mentor spirit. Shark, as a mentor spirit, emphasizes ferocity, primal instincts, and an aggressive, predatory nature, which aligns well with the unit's combat focus. Hawaii: The Shark Men are based in Hawaii, and their abilities and mindset are deeply influenced by the Hawaiian environment, particularly the oceanic surroundings. Role: They are known for their ruthlessness and effectiveness in combat, utilizing their adept powers to enhance their martial prowess. Their connection to the Shark mentor spirit gives them a predatory edge, making them formidable warriors who are feared both in and out of the water. The Shark Men represent one of the many ways in which mentor spirits influence characters and groups in the Shadowrun universe, adding depth and unique characteristics to those who follow them." I don't know how it found that out, or even if it's true, but there you go.

Once played a game where the premise was that my character was clearly at some point a Necromancer and chose to be that of his own free will, but doesn't remember anything beyond a year previous including his real name and why he chose to be a Necromancer. His spirits were basically all Man spirits and the story was that any spirit he summoned either was the soul of a recently deseased metahuman or was normal astral spirits that he was summoning by having them fill in the astral footprints left by the recently dead. Just enough that nobody was 100% sure what was going on there including the spirits themselves. Did mean he tried to avoid to using the easily summonable Watchers as they *might* be the souls of dead children/babies that he was temporarily binding and enslaving, which was a bit dark even for 'Runners. He was one half of a duo of private investigators. They fought crime. lol

Lets say you lose a leg in an accident, and you replace it with a cybernetic. Do you lose that part of your soul the moment you lose the limb, or the moment you replace it? If that happens when it's replaced, why? What about wooden prosthetics? Do they eat away at your soul? Is it the fact that cybernetics interface with your mind in order to move that's the problem? I mean, if the problem was cutting off a limb and replacing it with non organic material, and not the loss of a limb, that would make sense. But does the order matter is what im wondering. Basically, is it equally bad to get cybernetics to replace a part of your body that was lost accidentally as, say, cutting off a healthy hand to replace it with a metal one?

From what I understand, removing the limb is what causes the essence loss. There was something in 2e that mentions if you lose a limb you can get it replaced for a huge amount of time and money to get your essence back with stem cells and gene therapy, but magic point loss is permanent. Of course adept levels can bump that back up.

It actually happened to me in one campaign, my mage lost an arm during a firefigth. He was succefully stabilized (not using too much meditech), but loose a point of magic (less body to wield magic). He then spent a few months outside of any city, recuperating and waiting for his arm to be grown back from his own cell, then reattached to his body, regaining the magic point. I'm not sure this was canon, or if the GM just let it be that way. I think I remember the lore saying somewhere that it's the neural connection to cyberware that eat your essence away, so so long as you don't put cyber in your body, you can gain back your magic. Not really sure of it tho, it's something the GM should or should not apply to his own game...

Something that SR _doesn't have_ that I feel it really misses is a "critter tamer." You can _kind of_ do it with drones, or spirits, but its not _really_ the same thing when you see the kind of cool abilities that SR critters have. "Primitive" characters are another thing that SR doesn't really support; again, you can _kind of_ go primitive with Physical Adepts, but the concept of someone _not_ going in for guns and explosives just seems to run counter to the core themes of the game. I mention all of this here because my critter-taming, Amazon-tribesman troll character was more magic-leaning than anything, and was surprisingly difficult to build and play.

To add to what Dr. Otaku-Sensei said, while there has been lore suggesting the possibility of MagiTek being a thing, there are no actual rules for doing so. From the in-universe perspective that the books are written from, most are skeptical of the idea but are equally willing to admit that stranger things have happened.

At 16:06 you the top image is from the latest Magic: the Gathering extension Kamigawa Neon Dynasty, which is (pretty atypically for MtG) a high-technology world. And until just now I haven't noticed how similar that world actually is to MtG. The primary difference being, that Kamigawa has always had Magic and Sprits, but technology has arrived only relatively recently. But the end result is not that different (in the broad strokes).

Entertaining but Wrong on a couple mostly small counts 1) toxic mages also have access to pollution and radiation damage, they're arguably defined by that acces 2) whether you are awakened does not *usually* on a national sun

Magic Dynasties? What magic/Mage dynasties? There's nothing in the lore that I can recall, I've been refereeing ShadowRun since it first released in 1989, that's supports dynasties or families with long lineages of magically active. In fact, most of the source books state that there is no known relation between genetics and magical ability.

So the ability of you being able to do magic is basically detergened at birth correct?

Yes* The spark for magic is gained at birth but many practitioners of magic do not awaken their latent abilities to mold mana until a later age (just as having a left leg is determined at birth but walking is developed later in life). There are also talks about mentor spirits "granting" magic on an individual but I fully believe when a mentor spirit does this they can only do it to someone who already has a spark, they cannot take a fully mundane or cybered up individual and grant them magic.
