Well, according to SHADOWTECH, in 2053 human Geomegeering was only in
its "vegistative" stages. hmmmm...

Well, the spell would probably only go to the target. WHY?

In one of the various SR sourcebooks it says, "The spell targets the
person's AURA."

In another it says, "Even identical twins don't have the same
fingerprints, and they don't have the same aura, as each person's is
different."

mabie i'm just fragged, but I think it would only target the target.
