I'm sorry if this is covered in a previous thread, but I seem to be unable to use more than one search term, so I couldn't find this topic if it's already been covered.

Characeters with Magic or Resonance attributes are subject to penalties if they have an Essence lower than 6. For each point or partial point of Essence below 6, the character loses 1 full point from her Magic or Resonance and the maximum for that attribute is reduced by 1

Anyhow, the Latent Awakening talent seems to go against this, it does so obviously to allow characters with less than 6 essence to purchase it. The question is thus, at character creation, does installed cyber reduce the purchased magic rating?

I.E. Magic Man Max has opted for a Cerebral Booster and Cybereyes at character creation, He purchases a magic rating of 5, his new maximum. Does he pay 65bp or 55bp for those 4 points

I would take it as read that it does, excepting if the character history specifically includes an awakening after the cyber was installed. Is this right? It's a bit frustrating as for the first several months I thought you could purchase your magic rating as if the reduced magic rating were your max, as in reduced caps on other attributes with the various races.
