[QUOTE="Shalimar, post: 789804, member: 9600"] well none of these spells had variable drain codes, if they did they would have cost much more. Since its sold off max drain of a spell Buying a force 5 heal or any force 5 combat spell would cost 5,000, but for the ones I bought, mostly light and moderate its more like 50 times the force of the spell, or 100 times, even Serious drain is only 500 times. Remember the monetary costs aren't the only ones associated with learning spells, so yes its easy to pick up spell formulas with the right contacts, but its the karma cost to learn thats going to be the sticking price, off the top of my head she'll need 28 karma to learn those spells. Besides after character gen there is a street index of 2 if buying illegaly. If you want to buy legally you have to register any spells you buy force three and up since they require licenses. Not many shadow runners want to register the spells they buy as they are probably highly illegal like hellblast etc. For a legally upstanding citizen who has a SIN buying the spells I bought would be pretty easy and considered harmless, I might get a letter asking if I was interested in Joining a corp. as I am sure that corps cast a wide net for mages, and making purchases that leave records would be like dangling a hunk of meat in a pirahna cage.
