True, it probably was I who used combat as an example, and I still think
that it is the best one to use because that is where drain is going to be
the most crucial. Who cares if they take a light drain when casting a
spell right before bedtime? :) SR1 rules weren't bad and I liked them for
magic as well, but I don't see that SR2 mages became more powerful, just
different, I mean after all they lost "Turn to Goo" as a spell in the main
book. :)
