Can technomancers without the esotericist archetype take the two magic hacks listed on page 100?
I'm pretty sure that the intent is for them to be only available if you actually take the archetype. However...
A-I don't see any text that explicitly states this (unless I missed something, please correct). The closest is the title of the section, 'Technomancer Esotericist Magic Hacks' which very clearly suggests this. But it doesn't say, "Only technomancers with the Esotericist archetype are allowed to take these magic hacks."
B-All of an esotericists ACFs are optional regardless. So any technomancer could, technically, call themselves an Esotericist, take literally none of the ACF's and therefore qualify for the two magic hacks if this were the case.
Basically, the only people that would be prevented from taking them are TM's that are already past level 2, so it seems like a weird way to rule it.
While this question seems pedantic, I'm working on adding stuff from COM to the cookiemaker sheet and it's important that I get the limitations on availability correct, if they exist.

Not quite any technomancer. Remember, there is a limit of 1 archetype per class, even if they dont overlap in what they give up.
I forgot about that, so it's any TM already past level 2 and any TM that already took another archetype.
