But shadowrun spells are resisted not disbelieved. Anyway you could
make the thing physical, it would need to be a manipulation spell
after all in which case it changes the physical state of the hood and
you would then be tring to con yourself believing it to be solid when
in reality it was not anymore, ok you still have to get +2's for
sustaining the spell and cope with probable Hand-Hand combat vs guys
with stun battons whils having your hands cuffed (and with a mage i
bet thats behind you as uncomfortably as they could manage) but you
stand a chance, well till you remember they tend to take armour off
prisoners.

The solution i used when faced with problems was, i need medical
attention anyway, break docwagon band, guess what High treat response
team shows up, removes problem to treating patient and applies first
aid, now these folks let their platnium contract customers go free
[to ensure more business, corpses are a bit beyond needing expensive
hospital treatment]. Handy but be careful you do not abuse Docwagon
trying this sort of thing they can get very annoyed if you use thier
people to fight your battles for you, esp if you get them hurt in the
process.
