So, last sunday my group went mental and started attacking each other with magic for one reason or another.
First scenario: One of the team was doing a bit of a back-hander with his contact for a copy of the data we got from a data-steal (rival corp). Another member of the group decided that he was being "a bit shifty" and, knowing how notorious the character is, wanted to know what was going on... So he used mind probe on him. Second Scenario: During a run, our adept ascensed a massive dual-natured object which filled him with rage, made him believe one of the other runners was a hostile and sparked off his combat monster. He attacked the "hostile". In order to save each other from the fight (that's what he said anyway) and cast control actions on the angry dude. Now, the subject of the spell passed a perception test to notice the spell at work. My questions are this: Is mind probe intrusive? in that does the subject of the spell know that its happening? (I read it happening somewhere, but it was a story so i'm not so clued up on the rules) When successfully detecting magic that is being cast on you, are you aware of who is casting it on you? Kind of like following the mana trail back to the caster? Cheers Peeps |
