Question: Why does a mage want to both surf the net and go astral at once?

Re: Computer Compatible Magic?
I'd be more inclined to do this as Effects Shaping, as well, but it's workable either way.

Re: Computer Compatible Magic?
Yeah, once you hit the high TLs the idea of you taking time is a bit far fetched, and it gets worse if you involve super-science, for example if your riding around in the DeLorean from Back to the Future with it's on-board nuclear reactor ...

It's mainly because coding is already something in which skillful execution directly affects the quality of the output; code-magic ought to be the same way.

Re: Computer Compatible Magic?
I wouldn't call it source material, but I asked on the forums about some double speak and someone said something about Shroedinger's Dog, which I played with for a while and came up with the following
Imagine a dog that has an infinite number of bones that represent possible outcomes of changing the local codes to tweak subatomic particles. While the dog is always trying to bury the bones, the users, which have a brain implant (the computer accessory with a certain number of points in Thaumatology and various paths) relay codes to a mainframe which then makes the requested (usually) subatomic changes to enact the effect. |
