Alright, I'll admit it - I haven't read any of the SR4 books. But I heard a few things back when it was coming out. So I'm hoping someone here can clear a few things up:

1. I heard that the distinction between shamanic and hermetic magic has largely disappeared in SR4. Is that true? How did they reconcile this in-universe?
2. I heard that shamans no longer all have totem spirits. Is that the case? If so, how did they reconcile that in-universe? Did the totems withdraw their favor to all but a select few, or what?

If I think of anything else, I'll post it.
