 In general, loading up on high-grade cyberware and bioware tends to provide more benefits than we would have gained from the lost magic. Nothing that we do or use depend on our essence rating, and we can recover lost magic through initiation. Our maximum magic rating does get reduced; with zero magic lost to implants, our maximum magic rating is 26. With 3 or more magic lost to implants, our maximum magic rating is 20. But 26 magic doesn't really compare to 20 magic + up to 5.99 essence of cyberware + up to 8.0 index of bioware. In general, loading up on high-grade cyberware and bioware tends to provide more benefits than we would have gained from the lost magic.

-However, the natural adept does get benefits in RP or group play, because a spellcaster's heal spell has a TN that depends on their target's essence. If we have a full 6 essence, then a mage has good odds of healing us for 8 boxes, or a shaman can heal us for 12 boxes, with just a single cast. This sort of pairing has an additional synergy in that the dice we use for our pain relief and empathic healing powers is our magic rating, the former of which can be used to recover the spellcaster's drain (and is the only mechanic in the game that can do so).+However, the natural adept does get benefits in RP or group playthe dice we use for our pain relief and empathic healing powers is our magic rating, the former of which can be used to recover spellcaster's drain (and is the only mechanic in the game that can do so). In addition, our higher essence makes it a lot easier for the spellcaster to use their heal spell on us and may also reduce social penalties in PRUNs.
