[UA] Oneiromancers and Provigil

[Rayburn, Russell E.]

Makes sense.  Although, why an Oneiromancer would use this regularly
when there is no charging benefit seems an interesting exercise.

You know, I think that this would work this way in the
short term.

If you started using it regularly, I'd say it would
start to weaken the symbolic tension and start causing penalties.  Maybe
start with -5% after a little while, and start going from there?
