Hey all.

I was recently playing a game and I used the card "Spell Lock" for
the first time (I haven't played in almost 3 months). Anyway, here is the
issue I am having.

The spell lock was played on a bullet barrier (although the actual
spell it was played on makes no difference in this question). Now, spell
lock states that it allows a given spell to be used twice (and the spell
does not have to be turned the first time). Now, here is the question:

If I want to use a spell with a spell lock twice, does the runner
using the spell have to have a Sorcery of at least 2?

My initial reaction was that the runner had to have a Sorcery of at least
2, but then I thought about what a Spell Lock was. It's an object with a
spell bound to it. My ultimate decision was that the first usage of the
spell (which is essentially the use of the spell lock) does not count
against the number of spells that the mage can cast in a given turn.

What do you all think? Is there an official ruling on this?

Thanks.
