Magic in this realm is known as Paradynamic Sciences. It is capricious and at times very hard to control. It stands as a competitor of sorts against BioAugmentation, or "Bionics". With almost no exception, the two cannot exist within the same body without it destroying that body in very unpleasant ways. Some people explode, others implode, and still others simply die from a massive stroke, and are unable to be brought back.
