Odd Hypothesis Re: Mana Warps...
« on: February 11, 2006, 01:07:40 PM »

and Virtuoso pieces.

If you shuttled a Virtuoso piece onto the moon, and let it sit there in the rating 8 mana warp, would the object be destroyed, regardless of it being an actual magical object, or would it allow anyone aspected towards it actually cast spells safely in the warp? Makes ya wonder.

I thought Space was a Level 8 Mana Warp, and the Moon was slightly better- or is space Level 10, and the moon an 8?

space is 10.
The moon, I'm not so sure about, 8 is likely.

Luna is a level 8 mana warp, which is hypothesized to either be that it is either a chunk of the earth, or it's general use as a deity and symbol which aspects it with mana. Just read Target: Wastelands and rating 8 was listed for the Moon's Mana warp. Which might imply that there are moon bases inside the moon that might only be a rating 6 or less, and if they manage to drag it down to 5, then you might see some successful terraforming via ritual magic links.

Aye, but the reward could be very interesting to say the least. I mean when you see Shadowrun 2100, then there would be a moon colony with it's own strange aspected moon mana, and such.

Let's hope it doesn't get THAT far. Personally, I wans to know what the Background Count is of Io. Underwater seas mean life. Life means mana. Would be interesting.

getting an aspected magician all the way out to IO could be tough...

and who's to say if the mana there would be compatable to what you've learned earthside?

Good point, but I still wonder about it.

I suppose you could knock them out so they wouldn't be astrally questing or anything while in coma land on the trip out there...

I still think the first one you sent would explode or have no mana contact... too bad you can't just ask the laughing man what it's like to go for a period without mana...

hmm... I guess you could snail-mail an elf to IO.

they'd live long enough to survive the trip.

If they had enough life-support equipment and didn't mind 10 years of boredom.

It's not Io that has the suspected life, you're thinking of Europa.
