-Yes, cyberware and bioware do reduce an adept's magic rating, and thus limit the total adept powers that can be active simultaneously. But the magic lost from cyber/bioware can be substantially less than the magic cost for keeping a power active, and can also be recovered later through initiation. If there is some bonus that we want to keep //**permanently**// active, it is well worth looking at 'ware options, even in chargen. There are also a variety of 'ware bonuses that do not have an adept equivalent. +Yes, cyberware and bioware do reduce an adept's magic rating, and thus limit the total adept powers that can be active simultaneously.

 Here is a comparison of magic cost for a few adept powers vs magic loss for equivalent bonuses from 'ware (assuming cultured or beta grade). In addition, it may be possible to stack adept powers and 'ware together for even higher totals. The caveat is that if you only need a bonus/power active some of the time, then an adept's ability to deactivate powers and activate other powers is a more //**flexible**// use of magic rating than trading it in for permanent bonuses. Here is a comparison of magic cost for a few adept powers vs magic loss for equivalent bonuses from 'ware (assuming cultured or beta grade).
