The thing is, though, Sitgreaves doesn't teach a different way of casting.
He simply created more hexes and planted a message in the S&R catalog
telling of the source of MS inspiration. Hexslingers/Shootists also cast the
same way Hucksters do. They just visualize it differently. They all
visualize a duel between themselves and the manitou. It's just a matter of
how it's visualized. Shootist hexes are hexes like any other. They're just
not recorded anywhere. Someone just developed them and they spread via word
of mouth. A Huckster can cast the hexes in TD/Hexarcana and Law Dogs/Lone
Stars. A Shootist can cast the hexes in H&H. Metal Mages are actually
Hucksters who are also Mad Scientists. It's not actually an arcane
background in itself.
