For those sadistic players, I allow Biotech checks to reopen the wound and
try for a better healing (with the potential of causing more harm, of
course). Of course, house rule as it is, and nevermind blood magic
potential...
As for RL magick, real life corresponds far worse in regards to SR magic
than all those questionable firearms/vehicle/etc. threads.

Personally, I'd say the City spirit can rip into the roof of the mobile
hearth domain RV, letting the City domain flow in until the RV runs off
the pier and enters the sea domain...but that's just my opinion.

Alas, domains are only bounded by the opinions of the GM. House rules and
educated guesses and whatnot figure best here than trying to get concrete
ruling.
Anyway, five pesos and a bad 'net connection...
