Oh yes.  Shadowrun magic is amazing.  

You always had to plan for those accursed wage mages but you learned to deal.  Their magic was a double edged sword in most cases.  Snipers, flying attack drones with small caliber guns that would fly around a physical barrier.  They were tough but so was a full conversion Borg or a fully decked out rigger with a half dozen combat drones.

My personal favorite were spirits with the alienation ability.  I often called on fog spirits to draw a target harmlessly into another dimension or if I was feeling nasty into the unseelie realm.


I never got to play enough Shadowrun.  Players in the nineties had a hard time understanding that everything was connected to the net.
