How do most people describe the visual image of matrix damage? I know how
it's described in Technobabel but I was thinking:

1) Icon damage manifests as per the attackers desire (although he can
only corrupt his target's icon based on the damage he does ... [ie no
decapitation, disembowelments for Light damage ...])
2) MPCP damage manifests as a sort of static
3) Decker damage doesn't manifest graphically ...

IMHO it depends on the metaphora and how the persona was programmed. If the
programmer wants the persona to graphically show any reaction on decker
damage he can program it to do so, at least that's what I think. (I don't
KNOW it...)

I think this would vary with the program imagery used. A pistol would blow
holes in the Icon, a sword would cut it down, etc.

No, this isn't damage to the icon ... this bypasses the icon ... this is
hurting the decker like with Black Hammer (Don't know if the name is
different in German ...)

Yes it's the same. I didn't mean the icon would be damaged but it could
somehow graphically show the damage that is done to the decker and
afterwards become normal again. Wouldn't that be possible?
