Just to note that I really like the suggestion somebody (I've lost the
damn mail) made about Urbanomancers not being able to touch the native
soil of their city. I thought that was great, and will work it in.
I didn't agree that 'occult symbolism' should have to be worked in for the
charges, though. The occult is what you make it, and urbanomancers use
the natural symbolism of the city, not imposed images. Though if you did
want to use this, you should note that Bristol was quite deliberately
built on the pattern of a cross within a circle, with each of the four
quarters having different significance (I can't remember what, but there's
a chapter on the sacred geometry of cities in "Sacred Britain," by Martin
and Nigel Palmer, which I all urge you, nepotistically (which I'm not even
certain is a word), to go out and buy right now. Preferably in hardback.
This stuff puts me through college, you know.)
