This ability applies to any means of rezzing a piece of ice, not just the standard way of doing so; apply the Data Masons modification before implementing the rezzing effect (e.g., with a Data Masons in play, Olivia Salazar would rez ice for (X-1)/2). |

While the number of bits you pay to rez a piece of ice is
reduced, its actual rez cost is considered unchanged.
Thus, Startup Immolator must pay the normal rez cost,
Dr. Dreff isn't helped out by this ability, and so on. |

Trivia
Wizards of the Coast employee Glenn Elliott explains the flavor text:
"The guy who wrote it was actually thinking of the Free Masons. He did think it was pretty cool when someone pointed out the SJG/Illuminati reference, but it was actually written with the Free Masons in mind."
The "SJG/Illuminati" reference comes about because the logo of the various Illuminati products by Steve Jackson Games, including the Illuminati, New Word Order collectible card game, is an all-seeing eye on a pyramid. (Although note that the Illuminati and the all-seeing pyramid were not invented by SJG, but have a long history in themselves outside the gaming world.) Interestingly, it is the incidental SJG reference which seems much more obvious to gamers as the probable source of inspiration for this flavour text than the intended reference to the order of Freemasons. Or maybe it really is a conspiracy... |
