There are some entries at the bottom of the spell section of this CharGen: http://daegann.free.fr/page.php?id=241
For example, the spells "Boom", or "Shockwave" are listed with "Source: Street Magic". Oddly enough, my copy of the book does not list those spells. Could somebody shed some light on this...? |

If you check at the beginning of the grimoire section in Street Magic, there's a list of spell names for different elemental effects - they all work the same as fireballs, etc. except with a different element.

Sidebar on page 168. Rather than putting together full write-ups of direct combat spells with all of the new elemental effects introduced in Street Magic (Pages 164-165), they threw in a sidebar stating that they worked the same as the existing ones except for the elemental effects associated with them, and gave a quick chart with the names said spells have.

They're the names of different Indirect Combat spells listed in a sidebar in Street Magic. You just switch in the appropriate elemental effect.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter drone used by carriers.
Wait, wrong game. Sorry, meme cross-contamination. |
