Seriously though, cool idea. Work out the details and let us know what you

I like this one. Makes the whole jedi adept thing even more possible. :)
One nice thing about MITS, since it setup alot of things as metamagical
talents, and made the system gradual, is it leaves plenty of room for
interesting tidbits like this.
No two magic folks will ever be the same.
I wonder if FASA will contemplate a magic supplement book down the line....I
won't hold my breath, but it might also be a good topic for a net book.

No, no, no; that's the Influence spell. "These are not the Shadowrunners
you're looking for." Big funny joke around here.

I don't know why.
