What about a missile user whose missiles are not visible?
e.g. a modern mage casts a phantom of a rifleman, has it aim at a target, make a lod bang and has the rifle recoil... does that still have to be a big enough area that it encompases the target? If so, why?

I'm not sure where it says it can only hurt things with IQ, though the example given assumes that. If my phantom giant stomps by a guard with an IQ rating and rips open the door he is watching, does that door really get ripped open? pr is the rule that only things with IQ>0 can be damaged? If that is so, how does an opponent's breastplate get smashed in when my mace wielding giant smacks him in the chest, since the breastplate presumably has an IQ similar to that of a wall?

Thanks
