I'm gonna be hitting up a few conventions for Missions play. Decided to play a hermetic mage that sacrificed a bit of mojo for a bit of chrome. I like the idea of power costing you a piece of your soul and having to question whether it's worth it. Here's the character, let me know what you all think.

Well that's a name to run away from.

Full Corporate SIN is... bad. Bad bad. Very bad.

Usually when people go and burn Essence, it's to get something spellcasting related. Cerebral Boosters, for example.

You got a cyberarm. That can work actually - if you use the cyberarm. But your Pistols pool is about the same as combat spells. You'll end up doing about the same damage, with pistols winning out jut barely when using APDS.

The concept can work, but I'd levergage your cyberarm. Get some decent weapons - SMG or the heavier pistols. That means you have a good attack option - drop the Combat specialization and get some more supporting spells in there. You'll probably want to keep some combat spells; at least an AoE, maybe a single target. But you don't need 5 of them.

What's a Wand?

I like the way you think. The wand is a combat spell spell casting focus

Ah, well, I guess you know how I feel about that, then :p

I generally dislike Spell Foci (the +dice kind). Most people get a lot more out of a Power Focus, unless they're hyper-specializing (and you shouldn't).

Yeah, I love power foci. I didn't have the ¥ for it.

Isn't Corporate SIN disallowed for missions?  Thought that was one of the banned ones.

Ravenblood Blackwolf Deathblade!

ETA: I am not the player of that character. I do love that run of the Gamer's Tavern though.
