	:Game Masters will often either choose to have magic be a non-combat component of a setting, taking time and preparation to perform, or let spells be an integrated part of combat and everyday life. If the case is the latter, just assume that spells are like normal weapons with some added chanting. Spells deal the same damage as a weapon of its type but may also give additional effects like fireballs setting the victim on fire for instance. Hitting a person casting spells could (and, in some settings, should) have dire consequences for the caster.		:Game Masters will often either choose to have magic be a non-combat component of a setting, taking time and preparation to perform, or let spells be an integrated part of combat and everyday life.

	::'''Example Part 1:''' John pulls his SMG and fires it at the charging werewolf. John has the Ganger quality and as such is considered ~~professient~~ with the ~~gangs~~ signature weapon: the SMG. Other than that, his skills are Ranged Combat, ~~Streetsmarts~~, Driving Really Fast and Gardening (he always secretly wanted to be a florist). John picks up the standard ~~dice and~~ adds one for both his Ganger quality and one for his Ranged Combat skills and rolls the three dice. They end up a 1, a 6 and a 4. John picks the 6 because he really wants the werewolf dead as fast as possible (but he could pick a lower dice if he just wanted to harm it a little or try and scare it off). ~~Resulting~~ the chart, John sees a roll of 6 is a Degree of Success of 4 - the werewolf suffers 4 damage. The Game Master secretly deducts the Defense (Combat) for the werewolf (3 - it's a badass werewolf pack leader) and subtracts the remaining 1 from the werewolf's hitpoints (Combat). The Game Master then narrates what happens and how the werewolf dodged the worst of the shot and only seems to have suffered a minor injury.		::'''Example Part 1:''' John pulls out his SMG and fires it at the charging werewolf.
