Questions answered!

1. What is the range on an Illusion spell? More specifically, we have
a team shaman who has Invisibility AOE, so as to take her members
with her. How far can these folks move away from her before losing
"touch" with the spell?

Illusion spells are generally LOS for casting. Once cast the spell can be
maintained indefinately. Note: I really don't think a Invisibility AOE would
work the way you want it to. Every eligible target in range would be affected,
including bad guys, cars, buildings!

2. If I volunteer for a spell, then revoke my acceptance, does the
spell drop or is this control left upto the magician? ie I
submit to a critterform spell but then decide I don't wanna
be a flourescent green ferret anymore... does the spell drop?

Once the spell is cast, it is cast. It will stay up until the caster drops it.

3. Can people with alpha/beta eyes pack more into them? ie a cyber
eye can hold so much addition 'ware without costing additional
essence- if the eyes are alpha/beta can they "pack" more into
the eye?

No, you cannot "pack" more stuff into the eye because it is alpha/beta grade.
Cybereyes accept .5 Essence worth of cyberware. Custom cyberware reduces the
cost to the character, not the base essence value of the item.

4. How long is ambush:
can mage cast area of effect spell <YES> <NO>
can sam throw a grenade <YES> <NO>

I forget the rules on surprise and left my book a home.

7. Can an ally be considered an independent member of a ritual team?
<YES> <NO>

Yes. The ally has his own sorcery skill and is thus his own spell caster.

8. Can a magicians cast spells or provide Spell Defense through his
Sense Link with his/her ally? <YES> <NO>

No. You are out of line-of-sight, just like with clairvoyance.

9. How long does it take for a toxin exhaler to 'recharge' ? _________

Only god and the DLOH knows for sure :)

10. Where does the use of a toxin exhaler fall:
Complex ___
Simple ___
Free ___

Is it considered to be a melee or ranged attack? If melee, complex. If
ranged, simple.

11. Can an ally that has Homonoculus have multiple forms? <YES> <NO>
What about an inhabited ally? <YES> <NO>

Inhabiting allies (include homoculus) manifest in a form the same as their
host body. They can not change forms, unless you buy them the Shapechange
spell :)
