It shouldn't, at best you'd get the AP thing from the laser, but nothing more then that.



Yeah, They do not bypass it so much as overcome it...

Magitech was in Earthdawn, which played at THE HEIGHT of the Mana-Cycle.
Shadowrun is still at the very beginning of the up cycle. it rises for about 2500 years, then it goes down to 0 for another 2500 years gradually.
Shadowrun is not even 250 years into the mana cycle, so it's not even at 10% yet.
If i ain't wrong the mana cycle is 7000 years, not 5000 too. This would put shadowrun with the 70 years into the cycle in at about 1% of the complete cycle.
At about 2% of the maximum peak.
Think a bit about it. Why are corporations not using spirit power movement on things like ships/trains/planes/trucks?
Why is there no fire-elemental in every single combustion engine powering the whole damn thing?
Why is there no anchored light spell over some solar panels creating free energy?
And it goes on and on like this.


Wow, suddenly we're playing Ebber-Run.

NOTHING will EVER be as cool as Battle-Run!
Well, maybe Battle-Run 2, but nothing else . .
If they don't start mixing one of the two up with warhammer 40k . .

Eberron + shadowrun.

Eberron is the embodyment of Niven's law "any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology"

its DND but with magic used as technology. cool for it, but probably silly for SR.

While I will admit that it would pose a problem for SR in terms of fitting the setting, the creation of magitech seems like a logical extension of the use of magic in a technologically advanced society.

Let's wait and see what the devs/writers come up with in terms of magical thingamingies in the next few releases . . if i remember correctly, someone hinted at more magitech for the mana-challenged . .
