} Just to add in my .02 cents worth on the low-light/thermo/normal
} cybereye debate...

Two tenths of one cent? That's not very much. (Not a flame, just an
impolite correction.)

Just some more ramblings. If people thought it would be bad to have
Gottedammerung on the list, (which, mind you, is quite impossible, he is a dog.
(or whatever)) then they better be really scared when we start seeing
Crockostimpys here. I myself will run for my life.

I've been thinking of something for a while, too. If a normal mage, that is,
one with a magic attribute of six, casts an area affect spell, the radius of the
sphere is six meters. Has anyone taken the time to figure out how much
volume that is?! That is around 904 _CUBIC METERS_. That is a heluva lot of
space. I just wish that could be reshaped into other forms besides spheres.
You could make a block two meters wide by four meters tall by _113_ meters long.
This is what your average powerball can do. I like to think that mages
have a _little_ bit of power. ;-}
