Cyber/Bioware and the reduction of essence is not affecting the magic attribute correctly.

When you lose essence you lose both max magic attribute and current magic attribute.

i.e. if I make a character with 5 points of magic and put in .5 points of bioware my essence is 5.5 This immediately reduces my current magic attribute to 4 and my max magic attribute to 5

I made a physical adept and stuck .9 essence worth of 'ware into her. Her max magic attribute was reduce correctly, but her current magic attribute stayed at 4.

to 5.8 has her Magic immediately reduced to 3 and her maximum to 5.
Further Essence reductions do not reduce the character’s Magic again
until Essence drops below 5.
