I happened to notice this while reading Corporate Security. It deals with
the question regarding if you can ground using a quickened spell.

>From Corporate Security Handbook pg 36.

"Speaking of tech advances, corps in the Tir and Azatlan use magical
lighting. Their security magicians quicken light spells to places inside the
protected area. Magical light doesn't give off heat, so it won't "blind"
thermographics the way mundane bright light does. Also, the security
magician is instantly alerted if one of his quicken light spells goes down.
The disadvantage is, an intruder can ground through the spells. That's why
the corps tend to leave magical lighting to sorcerer adepts."

While this is a quote from a decker, rules have been located in quotes in
other products before. Also, does anyone know what the last sectence means?

Mike, do you remember who wrote this section of the book?

Mabe the last sentence about the sorceror adepts means that those people are
more easily expendable than full fledged magicians and may be put at higher risk
