Cybernetics

There are cybernetic replacements for body parts (there's even some enhancement available). However, for the most part, cybernetics is limited to medical replacemenet of missing limbs (or other functions). A cybernetic arm is about as strong as a decently strong human. A cybernetic hand, likewiseŽ. While you can get them with some built-in tools, in general it's easier carrying these tools in a backpack. More convenient and better feedback.

Cybernetic eyes work, though they do give a somewhat grainy image of the world. In this field, there's some available enhancements over ``human standard issue''. You can get your cyber eyes with zoom, with IR, with UV sensitivity or with light amplification. Recording to a data medium is a standard, though the (dedicated) recording device needs to be purchased separately. The recording is at-will and the storage medium can store up to 12 hours of full video. Note that this video is bound to be quite jerky in the raw state, since it's a recoding from what the implant eye(s) are seeing, not what ends up interpreted by the wearer's brain.

One distinct drawback to cyber kit is that it needs a power source to work and is thus much easier to sense and detect, compared to a standard-issue human.

Studies have shown no detrimental effect in magic-use by cyber implants and it could be argued taht it's a good way of making sure one keeps powercells around.
