Dumpshock Forums _ Shadowrun _ Initiation for Mundanes?
Posted by: JanessaVR Dec 18 2017, 11:01 PM
Some time ago, I stumbled upon someone who did a write-up on a theoretical process for being able giving mundanes a Magic rating though a sort of "guided initiation" process. I thought it was crazy, but intriguing. Now I've gone looking for it again, and can't seem to find it. Could have sworn I bookmarked it...
At any rate, if anyone recognizes this and has a link, could you please post it here?
Thanks.

Cool......
Vary scary, as what can come through.

But that only took you 24 minutes!

5. Any subjects who still show no trace of magical manipulation abilities – although it is hard to see how
I expect Essence loss from implants would offset whatever localised magical bonus the artificial ley-lines provide. If the mundane merely has a ubiquitous datajack and eyemods, they likely will only experience (local magic boost -1) improvement to their Magic 0 attribute. Someone with more 'dedication' to transhumanism might find it alienates them further from the awakened realm.

I was trying for over an hour. Finally, I had an inspiration for search terms to tighten the results I was getting in Google.

Quite likely. As I said, crazy, but intriguing.
