Ohh, I don't like it. Astral projection is a voluntary thing, you cannot (at
least as far as the vanilla SR rules go) forcibly separate someones astral
presence from their physical one unless they choose to project. Astral
Gateway, the free spirit power also requires a voluntary target. However, if
you wish to push the bounds of the SR universe, this sounds like a pretty
cool way to do it. Could make for a pretty interestign run.

I don't want to bend the SR universe. If the target has to be voluntary,
then I have to find a reason that the target is voluntary. (like mom
always said: "Don't go with astral strangers)
I haven't thought it throught yet, only fishing for hints
