In a message dated 98-05-20 19:18:25 EDT, you write:
<< You know, I can't recall if the GGD used mundanes or not. Could we get
some sort of reference on this from someone, preferably with page numbers
please?>>
I assumed it did use mundanes. If they were measuring drain in bodies, it
would have only been a couple of times before their populations of capable
magicians (including full, sorcerors, and shamanic adepts with the right
totems... and what category would the GGD fall into, anyway?)
<<Anyway, I suppose what you are talking about is possible, as long as the
"biotools" aren't just algae or something; I would think that they would
have to be alive *and* sentient, not just have biomass.>>
I don't think they'd have to be sentient, necessarily... certainly higher up
on a theoretical food chain than algae... perhaps a variation on a mammal
form, like squirrels, with certain genetically coded responses.
<<Actually <light bulb!> what you propose is essentially a form of Blood
Magic. Blood Magic actually has little to do with actually shedding blood
and is more of a process in which life, or Essence, is stolen from the
victim to power magic.>>
Yes, it is a kind of blood magic, just like the GGD. Since we all know who
has the most modern experience with blood magic, who wants a group of Jaguar
gaurds popping into their doss late one night without warning?
