There was this spell called 'ShapeChange MetaHuman' or 'Race' or something, that was found in a publication/article somewhere online. Collection of homebrewed spells and such.
The flavor text went something like this: "There was a target known for taking strong women home from a bar, so the runners set him up. Every night for a bit, this tall beautiful woman would come into the bar, flirt with the target, but leave with a different man. Eventually the target was ready to do about anything she asked, so they went to a room. She tied him down to a bed and asked him "Are you ready?". When he started begging, she dropped a sustained spell, revealing herself to actually be a very tall naked male troll mage in jackboots. Needless to say, this made the runners' task of extracting information from the target a lot easier." Okay, that said, where did I read it? Can't seem to find it by Google. I'd like to find the original text. So I can show it off in it's original, less confused/better written form, along with the other spells/ShadowTalk on whatever site it was. :D |

That's like the old urban legend about the Batman rapist.
Basically, the story goes that after a man has propositoned a woman at a bar or some other typical socialization locale they go to the woman's bedroom. However, instead of getting to have sex with the woman, the man is surprise-sodomized by an obese man wearing a Batman costume. Psychoanalyists have claimed that the urban legend represents society's fear and denial of latent homosexuality. |

Gah. I know the text in question, but cannae remember where it's from exactly. There was also a similiar incident in one of the Talon novels. |

Yep. Awakenings, p. 29. And it is a Mask Spell. Apparently Sluggo did it.

Hey! Thanks guys.
'latex straps' not handcuffs, 'boots' not jackboots, 'official ShadowTalk' rather then online homebrew. No wonder I couldn't find it by Google. :wobble: I'd read it in Awakenings years ago, but had mentally misfiled it with a couple of spells from NAGEE |
