Were it me, I'd wonder too.  Syker energy does come from the Hunting 
Grounds, but it's energy that they themselves are convinced that they're 
channeling.  Sykers believe it's thier own energy and not The Hunting 
Grounds at work.

Now, since that's not true, I'd apply a positive modifier to all blastin' 
checks, since they're literally swimming in the good energy bits.

Now, as for Brainburn, should the hapless S.O.B. go bust (get new dice, 
Spanky), the manitous in the Hunting Grounds are of a far meaner variety 
than thier Weird West cousins.  The Reckoners are on the Earth in the flesh, 
leaving manitous very little to do except hose people who wander too close 
to thier territories.  In short, whatever bonus you apply to the brainer's 
blastin' check should be added to your rolls on the Brainburn table.  It's 
gonna be real funny watching the guy hit the Flaw on the table...especially 
if he's a boneripper like my player.

Good luck
