I already have a SICK source for my haunting (and all the other flaws),
but thanks. I'll pull it off the shelf tommorow ; we print and binded
ours- latenight copyshop jobs can be fun.
The haunting flaw was sufciently nasty, then? Even for a mage, it
seems the INCONVENIECE could be quite dangerous.

Interesting flaws. LIMITED FORCE matches well with a varible flaw of
lost magic I made that, obviously, had a higher value. Unfortunately,
it won't work well for the use I'm, planinng. I'd say the value of
SUBCONSCIOUS MAGIC is to high, given that "total amnesia" is only 5
points. Then again, an amnesiac can control his actions and eventually
learn his capabilities, so...
