Here's another approach to computer magic -- "Virtual Hermetics."
These guys do old-fashioned Hermetic-style magic, but they do it
online, essentially in graphics and animation. This form of magic
lets you be a magical hacker and move data back and forth between
brains and machines -- making it roughly equivalent to the
computer-psi powers in some other games -- but has a very hard
time extending beyond that domain. It CAN do it, though, with
a lot of effort, especially if the physical effects are eletrical.
Since I don't yet have the book, I can't make a plausible guess
at the mechanics; I just present the concept.
