You could just burn karma to learn a force 10 extended enhanced aim and up your magic rating a time or two. You may not have enhanced aim to the full range of your rifle, but you won't always be taking the shot at the upper limit of extreme range. You'd better have a trauma damper and someone who has biotech handy if you want to cast it multiple times to get it right and not end up with wound modifiers.

This is why I use my enhance aim optical mag 3 scope and laser designator on a heavy pistol.

ES Riddle, some people calculate that it takes months to learn a Force 10 spell.

If you put it in a Force 10 Sustaining Focus, you'll get multiple chances to cast it real well. But, of course, it'll count toward your Focus addiction.

If you were to Quicken it in my game, you wouldn't get a chance to discover how well you cast it until after you'd spent the 10 Karma points.

I don't think that focus addiction is probably much of a concern to phys mage sniper. If she has initiated once or twice she can handle a force 10 sustaining focus (though that is ridiculously extreme) and still have a few lower force sustaining foci for her improved invis and stealth spells (or maybe an astral barrier to keep spirits from jumping her).

Just find a Yak mage and convince him to tattoo it on you!

Force 10 tattooed....

Lone Star Mage: Liscense and registration please ..... What have you been aiming at?

Magic tattoos take up 100 square centimeters per (Force*Force). That's a tattoo that's 10 square meters in size. In comparison, most metahumans have between 2 and 3 square meters of surface area. Anything short of a Giant couldn't get that done, assuming you were using those rules.

OK, I can never get this the right way round - is 100cm squared the same as 100 square cm? If not, which is the larger? It always trips me up.
