Are Elvis and Toaster friends or enemies?

Insect spirits are different from toxics, FYI. I really, REALLY don't want to see a toxic insect spirit!

And apparently bug spirits were around in Earthdawn, as well, and up to the same tricks (which is why Tir Tairngir stepped on the Brotherhood, hard, to the point that they never really got started there, years before anyone else caught on to them).

That's what happens when you drop Toaster in the Tub and the "Magic Smoke" comes out.

Well, a Blood Mage is Twisted right from the get-go, according to the rough idea given in Street Magic. There's very little wriggle room to be selfless about it (mostly by cutting up on yourself instead of others, which begs the questions why you wouldn't take a magic tradition that includes a little bloodletting), and it tends to taint any user. Earthdawn bloodoaths aside, I'm trying to figure how you could twist something already twisted...

Would the Blood Mage become, like, UNTwisted? Two negatives make a positive?

Oh my...

Or are we talking about an otherwise Toxic Shaman who also knows Blood Magic? Because I can tell you from experience that it's a WINNER!  ;D

Well, there is apparently an advanced version of the Sacrifice metamagic that allows you to use blood magic without increasing the background count.

As for Twisted, there are different flavors of Twisted, Red. Blood magic is one form of Twisted. Toxic Magic is another. Shadow Spirits are another.

You make an excellent point. So are we talking about crossing or stacking brands of evil? And if so... I wonder if about Blood Magic and Insect Shamans... Could you summon a Blood-version of an Insect spirit? I feel like I'm stacking 3.5 D&D templates, now...

*bows* It may also be why other players in games I'm in hate me. I give the DMs evil ideas.
