Well, it just so happens that I'm sitting in the computer lab at school and I have HB with
me. :) On p. 19 of HB it says:
"... and having been raised and taught magic in a different age, his view of the
metaplanes is different from the modern (circa 2055) view. Many of the principles are the
same, but the questor does not simply move from Place to Place until he or she finally
reaches the Citadel. Harlequin's metaphysical understanding of things is much less linear
than that, and it is his view that matters. (Yes, this does mean that a character's world
view shapes how magic works for him in the Shadowrun universe.)"
So, no you're not halucinating, feel better? :)
