today. Can you say _GM makes the call_? I knew you could!

Sorry to disagree with you, but this is a subject I feel strongly
about. The source material is a guideline. If the GM decides that it
works, it works. If the GM doesn't like it, they don't use it. I
myself would say no, or _NO_ to big flaming pumpkins on the moon.
Some might say yes. Remember, justr because you don't like it doesn't
mean that no one can do it. Each campaign is unique.
OK, that's all the sermon for today. Sorry about this little
soap-box lecture, but you need not be so vehement. I do think that
most of us agree with you, though.
As for the idea, well, if you make an illusion big enough, you
pass out from drain. Magic Attribute in meters radius is standard.
For Force/2 + 2 D drain you can have a phantasmal force spell that
does almost everything. But do you really want to take that kind of
drain for your illusion? If you make it bigger, well, you make it
harder to stay on your feet. You can do it, but it would take some
serious spell research.
Sounds good though. I might use Lonestar mages with illusions to
herd my runners. "you hear a helicopter nearby, and you can see a
spotlight searching the area.."
