Lovely idea with one very severe problem. Once released, an instantaneous
spell wouldn't work like this. It would have to be requickened again. And
I'm still not sure you can quicken this. *ANCHORING* this thing might work
however using that method you mention, but again, once expended, it would
have to be reapplied.
