As a companion to a post about making up non-shadowrunner posts, and as an extension to a post about jobs, I wanted to talk about magic in common use.
What are some creative uses of existing (written up) magic? Could the mage use stuff to make his life easier, or help his community, or make an honest buck? How about a hermit mage with his cabin in the snowy woods? A brick firebox with a giant slug of iron in it could be heated by a force 1 fire elemental over time, and provide both a stove and a space heater. But why stop there? How about a steam engine powered generator? With a sealed system (shouldn't be hard in 2070) you could just tell your spirit "heat that part up past boiling point, but not hot enough to melt steel". Electricity galore with no unit cost! Got a creative idea? Thorguild |
