So if I remember correctly correctly when I was reading that heavily cybered individuals basically lose their humanity because apparently cybernetics eat your soul. Thats fine, but I was wondering what are the disadvantages of being a mage. Do mage's lose their humanity or anything or is the only disadvantages is the mentor spirits really. I don't see any real disadvantage with mage aside from possibly social stigma?
