OK, recently I've found my thoughts drifting to old subjects (since I'm going to have to wait until March of 2010 to pick up any new SR books), and a few old thoughts occured to me;

1) Just what IS the "source" of magical energy? The spirit planes being so closely aligned with the material world after the Awakening? The spirits themselves? That as-yet-defined 'quirk' that all the magically-active possess?

2) Speaking of the 'quirk', has it been identified? I'm sure it was mentioned in one of the old SR1 or SR2 books, but I can't quite recall.....

3) What does it feel like when one casts a spell? Is there a subliminal tingling sensation that cascades over one's nerves? Is there an adrenalin-like surge through one's body?

If anything else occurs to me, I'll post it. Thanks in advance to those who respond (and keep a civil mind).....

Stupid Lucas. Will we ever live this down?


Anyways,It's all about tapping into the gestalat of energy fields, whilst manipulating that energy for an effect that you'd like to happen.
