                Sprites — Technomancer Reference             
============================================================

Sprites are Resonance constructs a technomancer compiles to assist
with Matrix operations. Each has a level (L) set at compile time;
all stat values below are relative to that level.

All sprites share: Initiative Dice = 4D6, Resonance = L.
Stats shown as A/S/D/F = Attack / Sleaze / Data Proc / Firewall.
