Natural Attack Packets Color

I believe all Natural Attacks should use Red Spell Packets and
Spell Packets should be 'non red'.
What this allows:
It allows people with Shields (and everyone) know that the
effect is Block-able by a Physical Shield.
why this is important: It helps avoid one point of confusion
during combat.

My problem with this is having to find the right colored packets
for monsters during encounters. It can be difficult enough just
to round up spell packets.

I've run games for larger groups then this and the great thing
about Logistics is it can be handled between events.
One solution: Give credit for someone to make them and get two
buckets, one for 'red' packets and 'one' for non-red. Spell
packets are amazingly easy to do while watching tv. Put how to
make them in a Construction Guide (or find one online).
Making Spell Packets part of the 'character equipment', for
players who have been at the game more then three times, also
goes a long way. If I'm a warrior, I should be bringing my own
weapons. I see no reason for Mages to be forced to do the same
thing. Make it part of Costuming.

I honestly think that having a specific color for natural attack
packets would be an improvement to the game due to the fact that
it would help prevent a point of confusion in a combat scene so
that a hold will not have to be called in order to clarify what
specifically was thrown when it hits a person's shield. The
person with the shield will just know, "Okay, that was a
chartreuse packet that means I blocked it." The only issue I
can see is people grabbing the magenta packets and using them as
regular packets which would instigate another point of confusion
in the combat. It's kind of up in the air as to whether the
risk of confusing the aquamarine packets with regular packets
sometimes would negate the benefits of people always knowing
they can block any turquoise packet that is thrown at them with
a shield.

'If' A spell caster accidentally grabbed a Red packet, tossed it
at someone, and someone blocked it with the Shield, good on the
blocker. I will be (have) put forth that Spell Packets should be
an IC item/reagent so would be something the Mages have to
provide in which case there would be no 'accidental' using the
wrong packet.
