Default Re: Using Non-Mana Based Magic in Infinity Campaigns

My version of Infinity doesn't understand magic well, so its not too surprising to them when it does things they don't expect. The basic reaction is to bug out and call the paranormal experts if its hostile, and if its not, they try to bring it home so it can be studied and understood. After they understand it better, then they'll return to the world. If a world has magic they don't understand they have teams trained for just such occasions (ISWAT being among them).

Infinity agents are well versed in dealing with the unexpected: its part of their job. Only a few kinds of magic really threaten the secret, and those kinds tend to be associated with mana. Or with psi. The other thing they tend to assume is that they're dealing with some sort of psi.

Its a big deal, but its also part of the job, and they don't go crazy. They just retire with haste and come back with experts.
