SR5 and Bug Spirits

« on: <05-16-13/1505:03> »
All right, read through the fiction in the preview pack, and I have a quick question. Did that wagemage summon up a bug spirit?! Like it was no big deal? Are the Invae becoming less of a huge threat for mages to control and channel, or is this just more proof of Ares going "buggy"? Inquiring minds, and all that.

My absolutely unbiased opinion is that...you're gonna have to wait for more fiction.   ;D

It would seem summoning insect spirits is a thing now. Personally, I blame the elves.

Same question in DS
While Critias was only slightly less cryptic there, it does indeed sound like Ares, in their constant quest to make earth a better place, found a way to bring the bugs into our world directly. Or maybe it is a consequence of the naturally rising mana level, either way, stock up on DDT ;)

Given what little we know, I suggest two possibilities, neither of which are all that nice to think about.

1) Ares has somehow discovered a way to bring the bugs into our world without needing vessels.
2) Given that the 'form' a spirit takes is based on the magician (i.e. a spirit of fire may look like a fiery tornado, or an angel with a flaming sword, or a brightly colored pony with a tattoo on its flank) at the time of summoning, the magician chose to make the spirit appear as an insect.

If it's one thing the Corporate Council and the Shadow Community can agree on, it's the Mannulus fratres ad mortem order.

Hmm. Now I have a great idea for a Centaur changeling magician...

In the new preview their is art of a insect looking spirit, so I believe bug spirits are becoming a big thing again.

They were always big.

Especially the ones that inhabit former trolls.  ;D
