Barrier (AKA Physical Barrier) Shadowrun II page 158
Barrier is an area-effect spell in which the magician forms a force field of
crackling energy. The Spell Success Test has a Target Number 6. The magician
may form the barrier as a normal area spell, which would create a dome of
energy, or he may create a wall. The length of the wall or radius of the dome
is equal to the magician's Magic Rating. This length may be adjusted in the
same way as the radius of an area effect, by withholding dice from the Success
Test. The magician may make the wall into any shape. Anything the size of a
molecule (or less) can pass the barrier, including air and other gases.
Anything bigger treats a physical barrier as having a Barrier Rating equal to
the spell's Force (and is therefore cumulative with armor). Attacks directed
through a barrier spell have a visibility modifier of -1. Physical barriers do
not impede spells, even manipulation spells.
Type: Physical Range: LOS Target: 6
Duration: Sustained Drain: [(F/2)+2]S
Now this is a gross assumption, but I don't think that a non-personal barrier
spell can move. No where in the desciption does it state or imply that a
created barrier spell can move.
This brings up a question about personal barriers. Are they centered on the
caster and move with him, or does the barrier protection only him?
