In my opinion, wands and the wand martial art posted here don't seem too out of place in Shadowrun(though the numbers on the martial art seem a bit light but Im not sure at the moment how high to make it for players to seem interested in it.)
The main problem is that players are a fickle bunch and the power of Shineh/murderhobo compells a good deal. I could see a good deal of specialist elf units(maybe a member in the Ghosts) having wand slingers with crazy amounts of area and indirect spells.
As for a player using them, its a character "quirk" or distinctive style. Something to play up and have fun with.
