Shadowrun I/Goomore I Magic!?! Run away! Run Away!!! That magic
system is so unbalanced towards the magic users it *is* funny. I agree
with you, magic users that powerful are quite irksome.
For a mucho more balanced magic system I suggest going to SR2
IMNSHO. This will take care of the shamantic blaster.
