I would like to hear more on this alien astral feild...you say that it
would negate Mana Spells...if astral space itself is different,
wouldn't all magic work differently, if at all? Wouldn't NPC zombies
be completely immune to magic? Even weapon foci wouldn't work right.
PhysAds....they all use/depend on the astral space, even those who
don't Astrally Perceive or Project. The foci use oricalcum(sp) the
fuse in mana, making it a more effective weapon, and a spell focus at
the same time, but if a mage (hermatic or shamanic) ran up to a zombie
to stab it in the head with his/her Katana focus, wouldn't there be a
modifier? After all, they are expecting that focus to work a certain
way, and with the bonuses for using it...suddenly those have at least
changed, if not disappeared. The PA (PhysAd) running up, using it's
magic to boost his/her reflexes would approach it, then suddenly have
that magic ripped away from it....Is what I am saying so far
consistent? Tell us more about this Alien Astral Space.

magicians & PAs)
