If you can get a hit from the physical and the matrix to gain a bit of speed, let’s add one to gain a bit from magic as well!
Mana Jolt
COST: 5 KARMA
Magic runs in your veins.  Sometimes, it weights you down as you keep pushing yourself to pull more from the wide magic world.  Sometimes, that jolt out of the astral pumps you up like no other drug could.  Every initiative pass, once per initiative pass, when you are dealt stun or physical damage from a failed drain roll your initiative score increases by +2.

I have a lot of players asking about concentration.  Let’s build on that.

Constant Concentration

Cost: 25 karma

You constant stress your mind like any muscle with magic.  And like any muscle you’re finally starting to see results.  When you sustain a spell/complex form, the penalty to your dice pool is only -1 for each spell/complex form.  If you give the form to another creature/sprite to maintain, the penalty reverts back to the -2 dice pool modifier.

How about a new quality for Shadowrun.  My Deckers pull double duty as the legwork person.  Let’s build on to this using Cunningham’s Law.

Cunningham’s Law

Cost: 5 karma

You know how to make the g33ks fr33k.  Nothing like hitting the spectrum with your faux-knowledge fab bat to really get their blood pumping.  When learn about a subject using only the matrix, you don’t spend edge, and don’t glitch, you get a free reroll of all the dice that rolled a 1.  You only gain knowledge about the subject of your search and may not spend edge to reroll the total result of your search.  This quality can not be used for any other matrix related task.

How about another negative quality for Shadowrun 5e

Multitasking

Bonus: 5 karma per rank (1-3 ranks)

Everybody thinks they can keep all the balls in the air at once.  Some people open commcalls to their boy on the freeway, other try to text for pizza in a firefight.  When you attempt to use technology in any manner while performing another simple or complex action on a combat pass that is not part of the complex or simple action, you gain a penalty equal to the ranks in this quality to the dice roll.  Technology that is part of the action such as a smart link or using a deck to mark a drone does not impose the penalties associated with this quality, but sending video feeds from a drone you’re piloting on that pass would.
