Description

This Halloweener has dedicated themself to the flame.

Standard Operating Procedure/Rules of Engagement

The Halloweener Elementalist thematically like to use flamethrower and fireball since that fits with their gang's theme. As part of a medium threat run, however, the runners can be expected to be faced by "Landmine" effects like manabolt and powerbolt. As direct combat spells, they are resisted with just willpower or body respectively. This can prevent sizeable challenges to defense and soak tanks. To avoid metagaming, you should have the elementalist target street samurai with manabolt, and mages and other supports with powerbolt regardless of whether those are actually their weakest attributes. If the fireball and flamethrower spell aren't able to effectively hurt the runners, then make sure to switch it up.

If you'd like to get some extra oomph with a spell, then have the grunt spend a task from their 2 bound spirits to aid sorcery and add 4 dice to their casting pool.
Remember to have the elementalist declare that they're counterspelling with a free action or as an interrupt when targeted by a spell.
Pay careful attention to the BGC of the area. If this is in an area that the grunt wouldn't be acclimated to, then remember to apply penalties as appropriate and disable foci as relevant.
