Well, it's the same tactic Kyle uses in the novel _Burning
Bright_, where Chicago turns into Bug City. Frankly, the bugs are
overwhelming for just one person, and who knows how many bugs you have to
go through in an hour there. Besides, every Shadowrun veteran knows
that having an edge counts big, and in Bug City, you need every edge you
can get...
As a sidenote, my elemental adept can't summon her air elementals
anymore because there are no more conjuring materials available. Watcher
spirits are all she has at her disposal now. Hermetics have it rough
inside the CZ. GMs should consider how limited they are compared to
shamans before trying to impose even more limits to their conjuring
abilities.
