A 6:22 AM idea: Magical shipwreck research., Okay, maybe I'm loopy from sleep, Options

[ShadowDragon8685]

But while flipping through Rigger 3's ship rules, with the intention of statting out a Mecha robot, I noticed the magic and ships section. Specifically, the bits about certain ships of notoriety, like the USS Constitution and HMS Victory (two of the finest and last sailing ships in their respective classes of cutter and ship of the line,) and the RMS Titanic being particularly noted for having resident free spirits and background counts. (I shudder to imagine what the BGC for Titanic would be.)

So many mysteries of shipwrecks go unsolved. But imagine, if you will, a mage-diver who can dive the wrecks and use magic to help in the investigation, posisbly by summoning a spirit to interrogate it.

It could be neat. It could also be dangerous, not to mention being absoloutely perfect horror movie material. (Ghost Ship, anyone?)

The best part about shipwrecks is that there's about no end to them. From spanish galleons sunk with holds full of gold, to an Ares Macrotechnology shipping trawler that went down last week, the potential for this and a team of underwater runners is pretty good.

Not to mention, of course, when the group dives a death ship, and arouses vengeful spirits and tormented dead. Titanic, anyone? Or any other major maritime disaster with a lot of lives lost. I imagine, of course, that it would be much different, even if both are just as deadly, to dive the RMS Titanic, as it would be to, say, dive HMS Hood or the Bismark.
