Ok, I can see where you're coming from. I guess I just put a higher priority on my characters acting in accordance with the setting than acting in accordance with RAW. Would you though actually let a the team send a data chip from Seattle to Hong Kong with via fly spy because there are no listed operational limits?
Yes, but it's important to interpret the rules as the writers intended them. If you interpret them literally, you can get situations like this where the RAW is ambiguous. I think it's clear, though, that the designers didn't intend for someone who successfully masks their aura to a ward to be treated as it's creator for purposes of allowing other people/items through.
In your example, while there are no operational limits to the drone, I'd say that the rules as intended wouldn't allow a nonstop flight from Seattle to Hong Kong.
