Yes, it was supposed to be a bigger bang. However, as told in Burning Bright, I believe, they launched it into the building the bugs had claimed as their new hive just before they completed a massively powerful barrier ward around the building. The ward snapped shut just before the blast, containing it and amplifying the radiation inside the Cermak crater. In other words, the tac-nuke should have vaporized the entire neighborhood, if not most of the CZ, but the ward kept things contained. Magic + Nukes = Strangeness Happens.

[Morg]

I wonder If Nuclear devices of various different natures have similar undocumented strangeness
How is a hot fusion reactor affected by magic

How is a hot fusion reactor affected by magic

Badly.

[Morg]

Badly.

The question then, how many are still running as of crash 2.0?

[Mirikon]

Quite a few. There weren't any reports of catastrophic failures, if that's what you mean. Probably because someone wisely thought, "You know, we really ought to put these reactor controls on a network that isn't hooked up to the Matrix, just in case some idiot decides to cause a meltdown from the other side of the world."

Yeah, the only problems were EMP and Magically-Enhanced Nukes on fault lines, but they typically don't build Nukes near there either for the same reason as they kept the controls offline.

On the subject of Nukes and Bugs. Cannon-wise does anyone know if Insect shamans can become Toxic like other traditions, if so how would becoming toxic change the magic tradition? Have there ever been anything on the invae being corrupted by the horrors?

is there a named Bug Queen arch villain yet? we could use a few I think considering how well the bugs can plan.

A pox on that thought!

Well, there was this one named Euphoria...

[Morg]

Call me a dunce but I don't recall where Euphoria is from Mirikon

[Sichr]

I recall only Desolation Angels...Mantis women gang...well they are mostly supposed to be ..bug hunters...

[Netzgeist]

It's from a first edition adventure aptly named "Queen Euphoria".

nope I don't have it, that would explain a great deal

[Wolfboy]

long and short of it Morg is that a sim starlet was hooked on royal jelly and then inhabited with a bug spirit queen. Adventure module was a pain for my team because the friggin bugs killed all our contacts halfway through the adventure and my character went on the warpath. Its why he ended up in Chi town prior to the Cermak blast.

I want memories like those.

I want memories like those.

Oooh.  New spell idea
