Mana Bolt does have a few other restrictions, though...

1) Vision range (equal to shotgun ranges in SRII)
1a) which may be increased by optical binocs
2) Vision itself, you have to see the target
2a) Cover is always around somewhere
2b) Stealth + minor cover + vision mods = "what target?"
3) Drain
4) What if the target DOES have a high willpower? Ouch.

All of these make for low probability of actually hurting the target. As I
said before, GM's make it easy on their mages...turn up the heat a little ;)
