Hmm, an intereting thought this one ... sometime ago ago with my main pc
(Herc) that I play in the home games here, I wanted to go about repairing a
panzer, and use magic to aid in the b/r-ing of it ... I asked Keith if
instead of basing the magic pool on the Sorcery skill it would be the B/R
Aircraft (VT/Panzer) skill that Herc had ... so consider the effect, if you
wanted to use a skill other than Sorcery to base the magic pool on, and as in
the above case, using a tech skill as the basis for the control of the magic,
and not Sorcery, would you allow it?
