Don't know if this helps or what, but I've been reading a bit of Target:
UCAS at the same time as by digging through cyberpirates, and in Chicago
there are apparently areas of decreased magic that randomly appear as a
result of the mana-draining effects of the bacteria they used. I =
haven't
really looked at the rules for it too much, but it seems that magic has
little to no effect in those areas, and anyone attempting something =
astral
in there takes damage. Those who spend prolonged time in those areas go
ape-drek. Struck me as being a subdued version of what happens in fovae =
or
in space. No radiation, though.

I was under the impression that all the stuff in Chicago was the same =
as the foveae... I mean, it's been apparent that since Aztlan that if =
you mess with Magic in "vulgar" ways (a la M:tA), it does wierd stuff to =
mana.
