I read that. The original idea wasn't mine, but was pretty funky.
Yourright, Chicago's problems are not as bad as Fovae- they are "Voids",
which do weaken magic, but don't kill mages (usually).
Chicago's voids are only rleted to radiation tangentially, I think,
although the worst ones are at the blast sight. Its not clear if FAB
III's fondness for background counts or the radiation combined with fab
3, is really to blame. In any case, its not like anybody has ever
measured "astral radiation" to see if there is such a thing...
