I know. But since it doesn't match the character creation rules, and
since the usefulness of having just one (maybe two) mages available for
hire for the whole of Seattle - say to city officials, or Corps - is so
mind-bogglingly advantageous, that this rationalisation just doesn't work.
The more you think about it, the sillier it seems.
I mean, how much would a Corp be prepared to pay, to have their top
scientist or CEO Healed back from death? Or their top-secret billion-nuyen
research material traced and recovered? Or, or, or. The list is endless,
the incentive for one or two mages to go for the money, overwhelming.
I stand behind my earlier statements.
