Don't know if this helps or what, but I've been reading a bit of Target:
UCAS at the same time as by digging through cyberpirates, and in Chicago
there are apparently areas of decreased magic that randomly appear as a
result of the mana-draining effects of the bacteria they used. I haven't
really looked at the rules for it too much, but it seems that magic has
little to no effect in those areas, and anyone attempting something astral
in there takes damage. Those who spend prolonged time in those areas go
ape-drek. Struck me as being a subdued version of what happens in fovae or
in space. No radiation, though.

I was under the impression that all the stuff in Chicago was the
same as the foveae... I mean, it's been apparent that since Aztlan that if
you mess with Magic in "vulgar" ways (a la M:tA), it does wierd stuff to
mana.

Hey... that was my post. *sniff* =)

Anyway, I haven't read the rules for fovae in a while... it struck me that
the dead spots in Chicago were not nearly as severe as fovae in Aztlan...
I'll have to do some reading up to see.
