[UA] So you're a Videomancer with some major, MAJOR mojo . . .

At least one major. Two or three if you're so inclined.

Go you! You've got the power to bring to life a TV character -- permanently. 
Who do you pick? The UA2 book suggests ("What You Hear: The Videomancer") 
that with enough *sig* charges one can bring fictional characters to life 
for half-hour increments, and did so to Mr. Clean and the Pillsbury 
Doughboy, so it really does seem like the sky's the limit. Of course, you'll 
get them permanently.

This raises the question, what if you pick Superman? Buffy? The Fonz? Do 
they keep their super-powers? Do they have them for a little while and then 
the powers fade away? Or do they become mere mortals (think Jack Slater in 
The Last Action Hero)? Could one of them eventually ascend to the 
Statosphere? (I'm sure that the Fonz is channeling The Player, for one.)

Inquring minds want to know. Just seems like a very rich, if somewhat goofy, 
area for a campaign.

On the other hand, I loved the premise of Last Action Hero -- the Big Bad 
forming an army of evil by popping into movies and inviting the worst of the 
worst into the Real World -- so one could certainly make it *not* so goofy.
