Subject: Armless Auras
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 1997 13:43:33 -0000
I had a situation last night where an astral mage was looking for an
individual who's only identification was a missing limb or two. Should
this be immediately visible, even if the suspected limb is obscured by a
desk or something?

Since there was actually no people without limbs, it was a setup, I
explained "You don't find anyone without limbs, but you're not sure that
their aura would be any different anyway, so you can't be sure they are
not there." It was a cop out, but it worked.

Someone who had a cyberarm installed would show up as "essence damaged",
with the possibility of locating the damage in the arm region with enough
success on the astral perception.

The amputee would have one of three possible answers: "essence damaged"
like the cyberarm, missing the arm in the aura as well as in the flesh,
or appearing as the essence of a normal arm in spite of the flesh being
gone. Opionions?

Excellent question!

I think I would rule that an amputee's aura would be similar to a character with a
cyberarm: The aura appears whole, but diminished. Extra successess on the
perception test would indicate something wrong with the arm...

In support of this theory, Kirillian photography (spelling?) supposedly can
"photograph" the whole shadows of leaves w/ bites taken out of them. This was
given by the ESPers as support for the entire concept of auras. In Shadowrun
machines can't see auras anyway, but its an interesting parallel.

Time for this new member to speak up.

I have heard that people who have lost limbs sometimes experience feelings,
pain, an itch, etc., where their limb used to be. I would say that the
aura would show up 'damaged' but in a different way than cyberware would.
Of course, I wouldn't tell the mage what it was until he or she saw it in
the flesh and drew a correlation, but that's just me.

I would say that to miss the arm in the aura, he would have to be missing
the arm because of some genetic mutation or such. This means that the
'standard' for this person is to exist without the missing limb. Anything
else, and the arm is meant to be there, and it's just an accident or
whatever that it's not, and I would think that it still would be according
to the aura. You know how amputees often have mysterious itches in their
missing limb, well maybe that's why.

I saw an episode of sightings (or unexplained mysteries or something
like that) that was talking about a guy who lost his arm in a farm
accident. The guy couldn't accept it, yada yada and occasionally
objects would just fly off of the table for no reason. Anyway, these
researcher types used thermal imaging to record this guy and provoked
said response. The thermal film showed an arm where his missing one
was knocking the glass accross the room.

I think this was covered somewhere in the books casually but this is
from the top of my head. The body's aura would still show the arm. This
image is weaker and probably grows weaker with the passing of time. Now
if this same person could astrally project then he would still have his
full idealization of himself which should still include the arm looking
as healthy as ever.

A desk has an aura, that I doubt the mage could see through. Even glass
poses as a barrier (although prolly a weak one) in astral space.
Everything has an aura, to some extent.

I'd play it much as the others have suggested, that the arm is in fact
there, but faded, or shows trauma at the site of the amputation, if the
amputation was violent, but not so if the amputation was actually a
birth defect.

If the perosn that is missign an arm, perhaps he had a replacement put
on, and there are over lapping auras, one fo the real limb that is no
longer there, again this is more plausible if the arm was lost
violently, and the body hasn't said good-bye to it.

Actually, if it aired withing the last year, it was on 'Psi-Factor:
Chronicles of the Paranormal'. In the ep I'm thinking of, a man lost his
arm to a thresher. (that's gotta hurt) Highly entertaining, since the
ghost limb saved the man's grandson (son?) from falling from the barn
rafters. There was also an amusing episode on X-files where a severed
head showed a body (shoulders) when photographed using Kirillian
photography.

Couple questions for ya...
Can you change the width of your mails? (usually people are growling at
them being to wide, however, you've gone the other direction! ;)

Also, trim what you can, headers in excess of who the original was from
are usually not necessary, and when you're reading 200+ posts a day, you
begin to appreciate those who do trim somewhat. Even summarizing within
<...> is an idea.

Also the <aol> me too </aol> syndrome is frowned upon by some olders on

Conrats at getting a better mailer. Next step, your own copmuter!

Apologies for using such a cheesy method to practice

IMO an astral mage will be able to know the lost of the limb,because his
aura will be "damaged",not in the sense of cyberware.The aura will have
the lack of the limb as a kind of pain.

The amputee would have one of three possible answers: "essence damaged"

or appearing as the essence of a normal arm in spite of the flesh being

Missing the arm in the aura and the mage will sense "aura`s pain".

Here's a different POV...
It seems to be assumed that an aura looks like some sort of sihlouette of
the person (with a head, arms, legs, fingers, etc..), is that a good idea
(the assumption)?

Could not the aura be something more on the lines of a less defined (maybe
amorphous) thing, that is recognizable, not so much by it's physical SHAPE
but maybe by it's "astral properties". Also since the aura extends out
from the body a short distance, maybe exact details are difficult to see.
This might account for not being able to tell EXACTLY what types of
cyberware a person has beyond general "dark spots".

Normally, yes. The health of the individual is clearly represented in the

If the aura of the something blocks astral line of sight then it will block
astral line of sight; if the something does not block astral line of sight
then it will not block astral line of sight.

I think that if it is the first time a magician sees the aura of a limbless
being, the GM should describe the aura as normal but with a "damaged" part
(limb) and then the magician should make another perception test (+2TN) to
see if the magician realizes that the "damage" is the missing limb

I would go for the third one but I'd change the normal word by "strained".

Sorry, forgot that bit. :)

I've always found it interesting that FASA chose to extend Microsoft
into 2057, and leave a very subtle hint that Mr. Gates was still around.
The one thing I never understood was the extension of Madonna's life
through drugs, surgery and money. Does someone at FASA actually like
that creature?

There's been a lot of humourous speculation about Windows 20** causing
the great crash of the Matrix. I wonder if FASA would like to commit
themselves to giving us a little bit more of a clue as to what really
happened <g>

Maybe an Immortal Elf E-mailer forces the user to ignore the EI

These messages were posted a long time ago on a mailing list far, far away. The copyright to their contents probably lies with the original authors of the individual messages, but since they were published in an electronic forum that anyone could subscribe to, and the logs were available to subscribers and most likely non-subscribers as well, it's felt that re-publishing them here is a kind of public service.
