back, naming casting spells through spirits, watchers, focii, etc.
In SR II, they talk about how mages can cast through focii, similarly they
explain how spell locks work in this matter. Now the rub comes in when
you have a mage who (hypothetically) creates spell locks shaped like
, say, arrows. Then goes out with his/her bow and shoots a couple
adversaries with said spell lock/arrows. Said mage then immediately
grounds out a highly volatile physical spell through the spell lock/arrow.
The spell lock is consumed in the casting and blasts the adversaries as
a group.
This sounds a great deal like magic missile weapons. Of course, it would be
a tremendous pain to spell lock a belt of ammunition, but, according to
the rules, this could work.
Could someone please disabuse me of this notion so that these techniques
don't start to show up among the foes I have to face? Please!?!
peace
