Now please dont get me wrong, I dont mean to insult you :) But this
sounds stupid and **&*ish to me. I mean this is SR, you dont have to have
stupid restrictions like 'it goes off only when fooo barr etc.' why not
build an object that detonates every time. Now as I said my coments were
not meant to be offensive :) Ok now for the weapon itself, I dont think
that you'll be able to get very far with a fragging flail in Seatle 2054
chummer. How do you plan to conceal comething like that, not to mention
that you wont be able to use it. Its not exactly the easiest weapon to use
now is it, where are you going to find a teacher to teach you. This is all
highly improbable as I see it.
And now for the spells, I think that damaging manipulations and combat
spells canot be anchored that way. If you anchor one and detonate it, it
goes off at point blank - I aint sure about that, I'll have to look it up.

Now its an imaginative idea, I'll give you that :) But I dont think that
its feasible, or even worth the work/karma/nuyen/etc.
