.if the augments "Implanted tool" or "Pouch" are used they take the form of magical symbols e.g. implanted tool (clock) could be a symbol you activate to see a digital clock in your field of vision while Pouch could be a location on your body that when activated would let you reach into your self and pull out items you have stored (same mechanics as normal).
.sometimes a sigil might not be visible during its use if it is counter-intuitive e.g. an augmentation for stealth would not glow, an augmentation that helps with persuading people also wouldn't be very obvious maybe a slight glow in the eyes.
