"Certain university and corporate research institutes, notably MIT&T and Aztechnology, have sponsored teams to penetrate the Zone and study the situation.

I have made a "fireball pistol" with the current rules as making a regular pistol an anchoring foci for combat spells, and designating firing the trigger as the... trigger.
