True they knocked out the lights and emergency systems but then again they probably meant to do so. Magical intent is different from a natural occurance that happens whether you want it to or not. I mean come on the myurk we saw in SmF was some major mojo and the lights didn't even burn out till harry started waving his ju-ju stick around. Every horror fan knows the lights going out and the fog rolling in is standard issue, so of course the creepy crawlies had to hit the lights and all that jazz.

Actually so far it seems to be only wizards or other human practitioners that make magic go wonkey. So far the fae and vamp magics we've seen have no effect. Also for the most part I was thinking gadgets as weapons or defenses, maybe some investigating ones but mainly instead of batman using his billions joe blow goes to the fae for help and gets more than he bargained for sure his joerangs cut through undead like Harry goes through VW parts but all the same being indebted to the fae is harsh! Something along those line and since their magic seems to not make tech go kablooe they could probably work something in there to ward against the natural hex field and powers of the human wiz's

By that I assume you mean artifice as a synonym of crafting or making devices and not strategy or deciet, although as we've learned from harry assumptions are usually a bad thing lol  . Nah I'm trying to stay off the magic for a while the D&D/BESM/WM sessions I would play in usually ended up like this

GM: You come upon the camp of a horde of orcs/brigands/soldiers/ect so far none have noticed you and if you're careful you should be able to sneak around....

Player 1: I'll use an invisilibility item/spell/skill/sneak/roll avoidance ect

Player 2-6:"                                                                               "

Me: I'll use a reveal all to find any sentries!

Everybody else:  ......

GM: Umm are you sure?

Me: Yeah and just in case I'll use a delayed fireball/energy blast ect on the command tent!.....

50 rounds later.....

GM:Allright all 120 of the soldiers are dead now we can FINALLY move on to the story

5 rounds later

GM: You enter the cave where the tome you seek lies but directly ahead you notice a sleeping wyvern laying across the entrance to the next cave.

Free Action

Me: I sneak up to the wyvern and stick my staff up its @$$...

Everyone:  .................

Its fun but I tend to end up being buried in flying soda cans and funnions bags, not cool. Me as warrior or theif preferably warrior/theif is similar but a bit more expected and the extra hp helps  but in something modern I gotta go tech chrazy or just crazy crazy nothing beats taking down the forces of evil in a straightjacket!

I doubt that the mind of a non-human works the same way.
To extend this metaphor do you want a Vet preforming brain surgery

Hmmm well physiologically white court vamps are more less equal to humans so I'm sure their mental functions and thought processes aren't all that different. Creatures such as primates or spirits with similar thought processes could easily be used to practice on as they aren't human but their minds work more or less the same way. Not saying its something that should be done or that it would guarantee success while working with humans but it would mean at least a slightly better chance of success. 

Voting finished. Every line on the last one went to atomic sock monkey press, seem to remember something between you and that name, don't really know right now to tired and too many meds so later yall I'm out.

Hmm not sure but from what I've seen i think the magiphone has to be authorized by the receiver of the message so if you don't wanna hear it you don't, or the person has to break through your defenses (ie break the law) to get u to listen. Harry and Elaine authorized each other way back when but I don't think Harry would be able to use it with anyone that didn't know about it first or he would have to invade their thoughts in order to ask for permission which would equal Morgan chopping his noggin in half and be very bad.
