    Which reminds me, from reading Junkman cometh I think a metal mage like 
the original presentation of the junkers could work.  A huckster/mad 
scientist who beats the knowledge out of manitou.  But what can I say, I 
liked the junkers concept from the main rulesbook.

    Ah well, I got the impression that the manitou were just giving the mad 
scientists how to make city busters and not giving them anything else, but 
yes I can see how that could be taken differently now that I think about it.
