Okay, first where's the bit about physical Spells not being able to be
cast in Astral Space? I don't recall that anywhere ... on pg 148 (at the
very bootom of the page) of the BBB is says: "Mana only affects the
astral target. Physical spells ground out and may affect others." I may
have missed something though...
Also what kind of Aura Transformations are possible? Can an astral aura
bend at the knees, and other joints (this may sound like a stupid
question, but I disagree) If so is can the aura only bend at the joints?
why or why not? And how much can the aura be compressed? My personal
view is that the aura is kinda like a bendy figure ... you can bend just
about anywhere (or if you can't, It's a self-imposed restriction) and are
allowed a little bit of deformation (stretching / compacting) ...
