The silly buggers I call players tried that with me also once. Don't
forget that the duration of the spell is "sustained". Now mister
Johnson under influence agrees to pay them 10 times the usual pay,
but will he still be inclined to pay them that money once the mage
drops the spell? :> Nope mr J. will probably be seriously pissed of,
and take actions against the untrustworthy runners. Not paying them
for the run will be the first, and there may be more to follow :>:>
