Okay, here's the question. Does spell defense (as described on pg.
132 in SRII) affect damaging manipulations? An Addendum to this question,
which may or may not help with the answer; How do you think spell defense
( and sheilding for that matter) work? Does some sort of sheild dissapate
some spell energy or does some magically energy forify the aura or body of
the target, or something entirely different occur?
Depending on the model of spell defense you subscribe, spell
defense may or may not affect damaging maninpulations. Also could Spell
defense not affect Dam. Manip. and Sheilding work against Dam. Manip.?
