Do I have this statted correctly?
I basically wanted to recreate the spell in the dragon fight section that converted all flesh to dust. I figured it would be like turn to goo but with one key twist; the effects were instant and permanent. Physical Manipulation Spell Los Instant Force = Body (kind of in the same way that heal has to be all or nothing on the damage it heals). (F/2)+5 ? or if los(area) +7. I know its powerful but just wanted to be sure that I hadnt missed anything from the spell design rules to create it. |

First step - I haven't read Stormfront, but can we even be sure it's a spell, rather than a Power of some sort?

It was anchored on glass beads and said "spell"

Yikes. I'd almost want to set a minimum magic rating to even use it as a GM. But that's a knee-jerk reaction, given that most players would look at the Drain and go "Yeah, I'll just keep my Stunbolt and .44, thanks." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Would be it out of line to ask you to quote the relevant text? Not sure if that's looked down upon with such a new text. Would allow me to ask questions all at once or even answer them myself, rather than trickle them in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Maybe it was just a combat spell with such a high powerlevel that it completely filled all physical boxes and overflow in an instant?
Otherwise it would still need concentrating until permanent, yes? |

Spells that we had
never seen before as shadowrunners. We watched as a light washed over several runners clustered together, and in an instant, their flesh turned to dust, leaving behind only their gear and their bones. pg 54 storm front. |

That sounds more like something that instantly incinerated them rather then an actual transformation, with the light n'yall.

,,, or instantly dehydrated them. A "Destroy Water" spell, that doesn't care if the water is part of something or not ...

High force Light spell, restricted target (Biological matter)? Fire could even do it. *Fwoosh* Dust and cyberware falls to the ground.
Single target spell with draconic metamagic to hit up to (1/2 Grade) targets with the same casting--dragons cheat with magic anyways...why not give them more ways to do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
