Basic idea is: a child is born heavily handicapped, barely able to move due to some congenital condition. However, the brain inside is working very fine and the mind quite acute. The parents, scientists or friends with scientists, find a way to allow their child to enhance his mind and overcome his physical limitations...by creating an astral projection that also serves as a semi-corporeal anchor for his senses and developing psychic powers - which mostly consist of telekinesis, some mind reading and some super-sensory abilities.

I would mostly use the fact that its a projection as a complication, with Immortality reflecting the time it would take to recreate the projection should it be destroyed and afflictions affecting the body by biofeedback.

How's that sound?
"Astral Projection Guy" set-ups are pretty complicated, I think. I mean, if you're building the character JUST as the Construct, it can work.

A question Jab:
Note: All Magic is inherently dangerous, and has the Complication (Must Roll on the Miscast Table if rolling a Natural 1). To avoid this, all Mages must also spend an Equipment point on a Magical Staff with which to focus their spells. Or just use another Mage's. Generally speaking, this is a phsychological effect, but as Magic requires the use of the psyche to control the universe, psychological stuff is important.
So if a mage has a 'magic staff' they avoid the Complication of the Miscast Table? Are there any limits to the form a staff must take? I can see Rosa's 'staff' as being a good-sized wooden cross she wears around her neck and clutches. Would that work?
