Enjoy! It's just an idea I came up with in the midst of game play when
the group wanted a public parking lot for a drop, they asked if there
was a fast food restaurant near by, I'd had too many Jolt Colas and cold
pizza slices and POOF I was hit by the idea of Psychic Sals. If you want
to use it in your game, go for it...I like the idea of my creations
spreading out and living on. :o)
