I don't know about the Spirits of the Fiery Firmament (don't have either
Tir book), but it might be a fun time for summoning freebies ('fun' of
course may vary with your definition of the word:) I'd expect that there
might actually be some fun stuff you could do during such an occurrence.
*If* you've got a flare large enough to knock out communications on the
scale brought up by Wolfchild, the symbolic significance would be *very*
big. I'd expect magical rituals in general to be a tad bit more powerful
or more likely to succeed during the flare's influence.

Depends a lot on the beliefs of the individual, really. An eclipse might
mean that their totem's power was temporarily reduced or eliminated
(remember that is some cultures, an eclipse was believed to be the result
of some creature "eating" the affected celestial body) Exactly how the
Sun druid would react to the solar flares I'm not entirely sure. I think
of a couple of different possibilities, but I can't really say:)

Depends on how the OS is set up. And how the IC is written. Some programs
don't like to execute if they can't find all of the required connections
(eg the Matrix connection)
