The topic and description essentially say it all, but with my refamiliarisation with the Shadowrun rules I noted that they've left out the Spell Lock. Instead the Sustaining Focus (IIRC) takes up it's slot, once again keeping magic in the hands of the mages et al., a feature I'm not entirey sure that I like. (Perhaps a stand over from the time when I was going to play around with a 'prehistory' version of SR before ED was published...)
So for those in the know, why were they removed? As always, many thanks... Kage |
