Shadowrun suffers from one big snag...
The magic and technology cannot intermix...at all...noway...
So to make a game really scary for players...
LET THEM MIX

Imagine what would happen...
Metal/explosives detectors in airports?
Enchanted Force 8 detect weapons Doorway
(connected to Earth elements +stunbolts to isolate the violent)
Tanks with conductive oricalcum matrixes laminated into the
Chobbam armour
Tanks with spell defence pools from the mages inside?
Astrially armoured targets
Tanks with Armour,Physical and Mana Barriers on them?
Maybe even invisability,increase signiture,spells?
Missiles?
Air elements that carry and protect the warhead
From?
Anti missile fire elements...
A force 2 ish element told...set fire to all things that
attack this vehicle.(missiles have flamable fuels..BOOM)
RICH?
Why use a normal limo?
Have a levitating one instead!
no fuel bills,no noise,no pollution
Fix a force one spark spell into a small metal rod
Instant battery!it never runs out,it never needs recharging.
No need for cleaning/security/utilitys
get the spirit of the place to help.
the building will stay clean& tidy, doors open by
themselves,all accidents are Guarded against...and break-ins are
a thing of the past(cos it can see your aura & use things like
accident,as well as sounding alarms)
The List goes on...Magic toys,Magic food that tastes the same as
normal but vanishes an hour after eating, magic
lights, heating, houses built over night by elements, Hex
insurance,spiritual detectives,magical hospitals(focusing doctor
with Heal Deadly in a ritual circle operating theatre will get
LOTS of dice..)

I've seen the future,and it's enchanted
