Thank you Sascha:) Another thing to add to the Quickened Spell/Horror
argument. If you are worried about someone attacking your quickened
spells, what about your magical weapons focus, power foci, fetishes,
elementals who owe you favours, your hermetic circle/shamanic lodge, etc.?
Honestly, if you are going to worry about every little thing, you are going
to end up (your character , that is) a wimpering, crying, curled up in the
corner mage. Every magical occurance leaves a trace in astral space.
There are probably hundreds of magical occurances happening at any given
moment, surely your mage can hide his doing's in all that. My point is,
there are times when you have to be paranoid, and times you don't. Forget
the Horrors, worry about other mages, spirits and elementals.
