I'm considering introducing this metamagic idea into my game as written, so please punch holes in it:
Item Channeling The initiate may cast touch range spells without physical contact by touching a held inanimate object to the subject. The maximum range of a spell cast in this manner is half the magician's initiate grade in meters (round down). The threshold for the spell success test is increased by the object's resistance (pg. 174 SR4). If the object being used is the fetish for the spell being cast, reduce the threshold by 1. An object containing orichalcum also reduces the threshold by 1, though these two bonuses cannot be combined. An object used in this manner may be used as a material link to its owner for a number of hours equal to the force of the spell cast through it. |
