I'm not talking about plot lines and interesting story twists...I'm
talking about a completely 'out of character', 'this doesn't fit into the
Shadowrun role-playing-game', response. I guess you could have some
people try doing it, but as a GM I wouldn't allow that type of thing to
work. (sorry, I'm a bit behind on SR modules and haven't seen
Harlq.2..actually haven't bought a module in a few years..)

Seen Awakenings, and remember seeing the Enhanced Aim spell, but don't
remember exactly what it did.
Never the less I was refering to a spell that would let a mage tap into
a smart-linked weapon and recieve the targeting data that the link
provided with out actually having the cyber-ware or goggles.
