:casting a very powerful spell, very hard... Which it should be.

If that works for you, do it- it was one proposal during SR3
playtesting.

:Anyway, I'll wait until you find something or other...


Below is a pasted message from my files; its as official as it gets.
Its not part of the SR3 erratta / corrected 3rd printing, but it is froma
FASA employee (the person who wrote thoe erratta).
Just in case Rob misses this second go round of the question. :)

Combat spells should be staged. Sorry if it's not stated explicitly.
