4 or 5 for, what, 2 or 3 damage? (So far as I know there's no Sorcery-3
Runners out there.. and if they were, you're bloody turning him, he's no
longer useful that round..)

This is actually verrrry close to a card in my subby to FASA:

Ritual Sending (Combat)
Type: Special (Stinger)
Cost: 5
Text: Play whenever a Runner is wounded or pulls out of a shadowrun.
Turn any number of mages to deal X AP damage to that Runner, where X is
the total of the mages' sorcery skill.

It even has a built-in material link!
