Actually, corr 2 is needed to do anything at a distance.  Corr 1 is for doing something that covers an area, like scanning a room for life forms (very important if you're in a possible vampire bar).  My Virtual Adept combined corr 1, matter 1, mind 1 and forces 2, plus a study of topology, to scan a room full of books, recording each book as a single image (remember, a donut is topologically the same as a coffee cup) to OCR over time.  He'd use this, upping to corr 2 and adding time 2, to scan ancient destroyed libraries.  Before the MUSH he was on melted down, he was looking for a Nahuatl interpreter.

Stat the gazebos like llamas so they have a gore attack.
