With the questioning of the horror attractions due to Blood Magic and the
like, and the various opinions bouncing around like normal, could anyone
really give a good summary (with light explanations) list of what types of
phenomenon in general attract "the Horrors."

Good Blood Magic, Evil Blood Magic, it's all "en muerto magicke de sanguine"
(gods I hope I got that right).

Well, you could add VERY STRONG emotional echoes to that list.
When the barriers do finally start to break down, I imagine the first places
they'll start to come through will be places like Aushwitz(sp?), and the
Native-American "Re-education" camps.....

(Along with major ritual sites like the GGD and the mini ghost dance
performed by Verner, and Aztlan, what with their prolonged use of bad blood
magic....)

Could someone please tell me where to find the rules for Good and Evil
blood magic? Private e-mail is fine, as I am sure the list hates this
question (among others). ;)

Raw (i.e. SR-style) spellcasting works to attract Horrors like a flare to
a lifeguard... *thinks of the lifeguards in his town* Maybe that's not
such a great analogy :)

It's mostly in Earthdawn...

I don't think "Good" blood magic exists in shadowrun.... Yet.....

If you have it, look in the Earthdawn Magic book... (The first one) under
Blood Magic and "Life Magic" (The Barsaivian name for "Good" blood
magic.)
