OK. Two mages have summoned a coupple of foce 3 fire elementals and used them to do their dirty work. Both elementals have only one service left when the mages have an idea. Why don't they try to control eachother's spirits?
One mage either willingly dosen't resist, puts himself on some penalties out, or otherwise minimises his chances of remaining in control of his spirit. The other mage easily gains 3 more successes than the current owner, thus now controls the spirit with 3 services to his name. They reciproate for exchanging control of the elemental owned by the 2nd mage. Now both mages control fire elementals with 3 services, where before they only had one service, and they've not spent one nuyen on conjuring materials. Comments? |
