This is true...however, I believe I said a while back that I was assuming that
all the magically-active types was staying low (meaning out of sight) and out
of the way. Otherwise, the wraith would definitely found each of them, and
slaughtered them all in turn.

Also, the banishing attempt, with the aid of the fetish and

Actually, that's not strictly true. Once the fettish had been activated, the
Wraith was stuck on the physical plane, and there were all these riggers on
the inbounds with enough weaponry to spell its doom. What the wraith was
doing was running a) away from the riggers and b) toward population so it
could garner more power for itself and try to escape in the confusion. What
the wraith didn't count on was the intervention of an acquaintance...this will
be clear as soon as I can finish the Astral Quest and exposit it properly.

No doubt the wraith _would_ have wanted to go after Shade, but it had more
pressing concerns (like staying alive) to attend to.

Also, I think I mentioned at some point (though I could be mistaken) that not
only did that person get bashed through a wall, but the wraith would have
ensured that person's death by rending them limb from limb on the way out the
back. For simplicity, can we please assume that the person who died was not
Shade himself? I'm sorry I didn't do a better job of clarifying that in
advance.
