What types of magicians (or rather adepts) can switch spell locks on/off
etc.. this halogen flashlight, its not as bright as a magician with
magic of 6 surely, how easy to cover/ hide this light (I know this has
been asked before, I seem to recall a spell lock in the mouth debate when
joined. We have two methods of concealing them that seem to work,
surgically implanting (only works on magician who's aura is greater than
the spell lock or foci) and my shaman who keeps his covered by a pouch
of seeds - living matter blocks LOS and astral movement :)
We tend to have a fairly low karma game to keep skills / attributes
low, but this means spending karma on spell locks and quickenings is
ridiculous if they are as easily destroyed as the general opinion
on this lists suggests so we are looking for ways to protect them.
any suggestions, (we had considered a variation on wards?)
