Kick ass!  I've been working on a drive-thru Sycorax myself...

Well, you spelled it right.

I have no idea what it would do to the archetype though.  Hm...

This Page Intentionally Left Blank.

Basically, that's where we're currently leaving the question of what
happens after death (other than the demon schticks).  I can't think of a
lot to be gained from going into that that would offset what we'd lose.

Now, the idea that the source of magick is beyond the Veil... (Did we say
that somewhere?)  Something I've been working through is the idea that
Avatars do their thing by harmonizing with the universe.  Adepts do theirs
by contradicting the universe.

Discuss...
