I use it ocasionally for my mage when he needs money:

1. Simply buy the radicals for Oriculum (sp?) and take a monh off of
shadowrunning.

Then roll enchanting, TN 10 - Magic (Usually 6+) = TN of 4 - 2.
Each sucess is 1 unit of Oriculum... worth 88,000Y

Even at "fence" prices of 50% that is 44,000Y which is the ammount of money
the radicals cost, Most mages/shamans can make 4-5 sucessess netting the
mage a total of (176,000Y - 220,000Y) for 1 months work! That amount of
nuyen can then be increased by negotiating with the fence (starts at 50%)...

(Although I as a GM only allow this once per game year, and usually for the
purchas of specific items, (I.e. Libraries, Lifestyles, and other big
ticket items...)
