The line "Non-living material - including clothing, gear, and cyberware - is not affected" really bothers me. This would imply that if you turned someone with cyberware to goo that all their cyberware would be laying on the ground to be taken and that when the mage stopped sustaining the spell the victim would return to normal sans cyberware.
Is that a correct literal interpretation? Spell text: Turn to Goo transforms living tissue into a sticky, glue-like substance. The caster must win an Opposed Test pitting her Magic + Spellcasting against the target's Body ( + Counterspelling ). Additionally, the spell's force must equal or exceed the target's Body. Non-living material - including clothing, gear, and cyberware - is not affected. The target is not conscious while under the effects of this spell, and any damage suffered by the gooey form affects the target normally. The goo has a barrier Armor rating equal to Body + net hits ( see Barriers, p. 157 ). |
