I remember in SR2 the BBB describes combat spells as zipping from the caster to the target through astral space and materializing at the target. This allowed astrally present characters that were holding an action and close to the path of the spell the chance to try to 'intercept' the spell before it reached its destination and grounded out.
How has this changed in SR3? Do spells just materialize from the ether at the target, or are they somehow 'flung' from the caster to the target? |
