This brought a thought to mind although it's never came up. The Body has
no aura when the mage is projecting so I would assume anyone seeing it
Astrally would see it as a dead body? Or would they see the connection
between it and the astral protecting aura?
Also, if the Aura is gone, would this not make it impossible to cast
spells on said body (except for Manipulation of course)? (at least your bod
would be safe when the manaballs start to fly eh?) OR would powerballs and
such still affect it as it would a wall? TN anyone?
