Also, I am batting around ideas, but I was thinking of how the precariousness of the situation with magic all around is affecting employment, school and everyday life. This could even extend to travel by air, land or sea, how people take vacations. There's an economic impact in all this, I would imagine.

I was speculating about that because I was thinking of playing a college student of some sort that stayed home that semester due to the upheavals of Emergence, particularly when the spirits started popping out, as that came after people started manifesting magical abilities. I feel like certain industries (guns and home security for example, but maybe also traditional folk defenses against darkness, religious icons and so forth) are experiencing a boom as people focus money on safety.

Thoughts?

Edit: Oh, and fallout shelter sales in Texas. It's a sector that's recently experienced growth. That was a thought that came to mind too; it was featured on 60 minutes.  Another thought is that if overland transportation is more dangerous due to magical phenomena, prices go up. This compounds with the economic environment and  negatively impacted sectors and exacerbates economic difficulty. Overall, I'd say we're looking at a setting in recession.
