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)..... |
