|>SR3 (third printing) makes no mention in the actual spell description for
|>Heal and Treat whether a voluntary subject is required. The spell summary
|sheet for MitS does list them as voluntary-required. Neither is discussed in
|the errata for SR3 and MitS. Does anyone know, from reverse-engineering the
|Heal/Treat spell formulae or some other authoritative source, whether Heal
|and Treat require voluntary subjects?
|
| IMHO, since MITS is official 3rd Edition, and since the official 3rd
|Edition Shadowrun Companion states that a character with this edge "is never
|a willing subject for spells with the requires a voluntary subject modifer.
|Such spells automatically fail when used on magic resistant characters" In
|others words, he is SOL. You cannot have your cake and expect to also eat it.

as well, because first aid was used on the sammy, even to stabilize him, that
precludes any magical healing later on, as the spells stand.
remember that only one or the other (magic healing or first aid) can be used to
treat someone for the same wound(s).
