And if Doc Wagon was the one who did it ?...
They couldn't make big use of these rituals because they would be noticed
and would suffer from a loss of profit. But if they only influence the
products you buy, this wouldn't be so obvious.
The sterilize spell awakens some questions :
1/ Is the blood (we'll consider in the same group) of a mundane the same as
an awakened ?
2/ If so, would a sterilize spell modify the sample in a way that it no
longer works with a mage ?
3/ Did anyone ever think about the proportion of mages at DocWagon. I
always wondered why there's no price for magical healing in SR2 or NAGtRL.
Typically, I would apply a multiplier of... Let's say 5 or 10.
