Really? Then perhaps you'd like to explain this quote:
| QUOTE | | If a character's Magic is ever reduced to 0, she can no longer perform any kind of magic. The magician has "burned out," losing all magical ability and becoming a mundane forever. |

Remember the quote that says for all other purposes you use the total magic attribute? Burnout is an "other purpose," so if Magic(mana-based) + Magic(physical) > 0, there is no burnout.
This is a change from SR3 that accompanies the rule change that purchasing a magic quality only gives you a magic rating of 1, which must be bought up normally.
Further, there is no basis at all for suggesting a character with Magic(physical) = 0 burns out his adept side. While the idea that the Magic(mana) half can burn out is a remnant from SR3, SR3 prohibited magic loss from reducing the Magic(physical) portion until Magic(mana) was already = 0. This is no longer required.

But since you were arguing that aspects of Magic that affects skills is also included in "all aspects", then all aspects of the skills is still linked to "all magical ability". I was limiting "all aspects" to just aspects of skills and not aspects of Magic linked to skills.
If "burn out" being an aspect of Magic that is linked to magical skills is all other purposes, then for aspects of Magic linked to skills should also be "other purposes" since those aren't aspects of the skills per se. Which was the very reason I wanted to strictly define the term "for all aspects of those skills".
