We will be starting a new Shadowrun campaign soon, and I am going to
play an adept. I've purchased the "Distance Strike" power, and I have
a question: How noticeable is this power? How does it manifest itself?

Obviously, the targets of this power can still dodge its effects,
which means it must be noticeable in some way...

As all of the adept powers reflect legendary martial arts abilities I see
the distance strike as the "punching candles out" thing. The visible
effects IMO would simply be the adept firing off a power punch.
Someone punching like that in a combat situation, even at range, is going
to cause people with a bit of combat awareness (Combat Pool) are likely so
react, the guy might be throwing something right?
