Hmmmmm! Lets see, Bull -- strong, healthy, powerful, stubborn, virile, violent,
domesticated, direct.

OK. How 'bout this: +2 to Health and Combat, -1 die to Illusion and Manipu
lation. Willpower test to change mind or forego action. Environment - pasture,
plains, urban, but not forest or wilderness.


Circle-- I think to really understand this spell you must realize that it is
not a totally discreet spell. It is rather more like a Ritual Circle of/for
{insert specific ritual here}, than just Ritual Circle. The ritual circle spell
is like a preamble or foudation or sub-spell to the more major casting (i.e.
the ritual). It is like a pre-game show - not meant to stand alone. A mage
can't just cast this spell and walk away (it just won't work then), rather
this is a prepatory sub-component of the greater ritual.


DocWagon would not fink on client. The reason: DocWagon is a major corp in a
world where major corp are better protected (legally as well as physically)
than society at large. DocWagon is not a insurance company under the thumb of
government - but an independent entity THAT IS PAID to be efficient and
discreet. As for bonds --- I say what bond, the corps probably won a court
case a decade ago that prohibited the gov from levying those kinds of things
"in restraint of trade". Govs are powerful, but not like now. They are external
ly and generally powerful, not internally specifically. Govs have lost the abil
ity to police internally. Lone Star is not the police, its another megacorp
that would no more force DocWagon to turn over evidence that it would reveal
evidence about itself. Doc Wagon wouldn't turn over evidence b/c in the long
run it wouldn't be profitable.
