Browsing the FanPro 2005 catalogue from Battlecorps in pdf format, this just sprung to my eye:

QUOTE
Street Magic™
The Advanced magic book for Shadowrun Fourth Edition. Details the nature of magic and its effects on society in the year 2070. Also contains advanced rules for alternate magic traditions, initiation and metamagic, enchanting, new spells and adept powers, the metaplanes of astral space, and a host of magical threats.


Emphasis mine.

So not only do we get a new streamlined book, but we also get the extra advanced rules announced at the same time? Am I the only one feeling a sense of deja vu here?
