Do-able. While you are at it, clear up the "personal" section of
spells. I've seen three interpretations:
1) It works only on the caster. (I believe the intended)
2) It works on anyone, but only one person as opposed to area-effect.
3) It works only one individual named by the caster when he learns
the spell.

At least 1 and 2 would be nice to have. (Can we make Bullet Barrier
for friends Personal type thing.)

Also, clear up:

fetish Foci (and possibly spell Specific foci): Are there separate
version for helping drain vs. helping cast? It is in the
rules, but it is pretty hidden. (I've found it, but many new players
don't)

Libraries: How they are used, WHAT skills they are, etc.

And Print a clear Source books update.. Fix all the things in
Shadowtech that you never bothered to update to 2nd edition.

And put my name in it. :)
