Hi
just another thought,
Don't
let him/her win the next 5 Session all the fights. Try once something
like spirit bolt/-ball and learn how he fight this. But let him win
the fight. Shadowrun has a lot of more than only combat. And when he
is lulled by his all time victory. Hit him.
Someone he has killed has a daughter/son/mother/.... who care but he
(the brother) cares, he want the mage dead.
next time whe he goes to his Talismonger do buy his huge amount.
There is a hitman team (one mage w/4 Spirit, a Samurai with a BFG).
You bild up a rep, you leave traces, if you are pulling that stunt.
(The spirits are yours you can argue the leave a astral sig of you,
or what ever)
If you think thats not fair than let have him win all the fights, but
don't increase the money for the runs jsut make theam harder (let him
loose first one than 2 elements) He will need more monex than the
rest of the team. Are they willing to give him?
Just sit back. wait and relax, most problems will solve from alone
