Hail Runners,

My question for you is about page 189 (Magic section) it says under the
heading "form":

"Consult the Street Gear chapter, p. 305, for prices and availability of
foci."

On page 305 (Street Gear section) it says under the heading "Magical
Equipment":

"Item description appear in the Magic section, p 189." This much is true.

"All spells, foci and spirits of Force 3 or higher are considered illegal,
with a Legality Code of (8 - Force)P - T"

Okay,...understood that too. But that's it! No availability,...OR prices for
that matter. Can someone help me out, these two page are referring to
eachother for more information. Am I overlooking something, if not...house
rules, anyone?

Dennis

Um... yeah. Well there is a chart right above the text that you were
reading on page 305 that says "Magical Equipment". The 3 rightmost headings
are "Availability", "Cost", and "Street Index".

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Roger

Actually, and do NOT quote me on this, we have used in the past the
Availability was the Force of the spell formulae in question, with "illegal
spells" being a +2 or higher to that number. Availability time we usually
measure according to the drain code (as if being designed), but if the spell
is IN the books, then the time is measured in the formulae's force (or twice
force) in days.
