Alright, I seem to have a problem with the rulebook on the area of
Gear/Magic/Spirits. The Rigger - Drone section says that drones may only be
played on Riggers. This is backup up by the fact that the Drone cards say
they can only be played on Riggers, and logical (universe wise) sense. Now,
the section below it says, replace the word Shaman for Rigger and Spirit
for Drones. I have a few problems with that.

First off, all the Gear/Magic/Spirit cards say that they can be played on
any runner with conjure. Also, thier are mages with conjure. Can they not
summon spirits? I thought maybe thier was a difference between elementals
and spirits, but they have the same text on thier cards.

So, just to make sure we are doing this right -

1. Who can use Gear/Magic/Spirits -

Shamans?

Street Shamans?

Mages?

Street Mages?

Anyone with the conjure skill?


2. Also, is Street Shaman and Shaman completely interchangable (for cards
like the
Toxic Spirit Challenge of the Haunted Highrise objective)?


3. Is Mage and Street Mage completely interchangeable with shaman (for
cards like the
Toxic Spirit Challenge of the Haunted Highrise objective)?


Thanks a bundle, you guys are helping out a ton. I know i have a lot of
questions, but as we play the game, we want to make sure we are playing the
way the game was written (inportant for game balance and such. Thanks!).
