So, as the perennial magical Reaction enhancement discussion has come back once again, I've been having a few thoughts.

One of the character types that sometimes annoys GMs or other players who like sammies is the mage who decides to become mega-mana-buffed by quickening or sustaining via foci spells to increase his stats (usually his reaction).

One common complaint is that the reaction buffs are too easy. I just had a thought.

How well would it work to set up the appropriate buffing spells like this:
CODE

Enhance particular attribute
Drain code: (hmm, need a drain code consistant with a physical health spell)
TN: 10-(target's essence)
Threshhold: stat to be boosted

Each success over the threshold grants +1 to the stat
Maximum number of successes = 2xforce of spell.

or
CODE

Enhance initiative dice
Drain code: (hmm, need a drain code consistant with a physical health spell)
TN: 10-(target's essence)
Threshhold: 4*current number of dice

Each 2 successes over the threshold grants +1d6 to initiative
Maximum number of successes = 2xforce of spell.


No need for separate cybered-attribute spells.

Any thoughts? Both positive, negative and neutral are welcome. I haven't sat down and worked out all the implications yet.
