Actually, Wired Reflexes shares the exact text that Ravage has: both
read, "Roll D6 after each combat [user] survives. On 4+, [user]
inflicts damage a second time." [Ravage, obviously, susbstitutes "she"
for "user".]

Note that the damage inflicted via Wired Reflexes happens *after* the
combat, meaning the Fireball spell has worn off, and - assuming the
Challenge survived the initial onslaught - the attack is considered
separate from the Runner's first attack, meaning Armor is back up to
full.

By the way, since this (and the Ghost/WGC thread) have gone on some
time, please watch the lengths of your messages - Paul and everyone
else. I've seen a *lot* of repeated, unnecessary text, left merely
because someone was too lazy to snip.
