*waves back*

Well, the rules state that Perceiving Mages can be ground through. But
IIRC the rules never state the Projecting Mages are groundable. (show me
where it says it, and I'd appreciate the data correction.)

Yes, the novels and shadowtalk both claim that projecting mages are
groundable.
Novels: they don't follow the rules all of the time. There are things
done in them that 'bend' the rules.
Shadowtalk: rumors only, which may or may not be true.


And back to one of my previous rants:
"If <controversial magic topic> is <possible or prohibited> then why
the bloody hell didn't Awakenings address it?!?"

Gee, wish Awakenings had addressed some of the argumments.. ah well...


So where do the rules state thet an Astrally Projecting mage is dual
natured or groundable?
