I like this stuff, too.  As for why does it have to
have blasts?  It doesn't.  I just noticed that all the
other magical schools had them (at least all the ones
in PoMoMa and the basic rules do) so my wife and I
wracked out brains for a good "cleanliness" blast.

The Paradox I originally had in mind was pretty
stupid, I guess.  I like Kevin Elmore's better.  My
wife wanted to play someone who was compulsively neat
(the Taboo about never getting dirty) and who was kind
of pushy and cruel, but who could also use that to
help people.  I like the "dirtying others to cleanse
myself" idea.  It would also work in with the original
idea for a blast that we had which made other people
void one of their orafices (sweat like a pig, evacuate
their bowels, vomit all over themselves, etc.)
