Grounding is simple to explain...
Grounding
A magical active object or spell opens a conection from the physical
to the
astral, allowing so other magical energies to flow through this open
cannal.
On the physical plane only a physical present object ca be effected.
If a
only astral present object like a spell is the target only the spell
will be
effected and nothing more. If a physical object is the target then
the
magical energies flow out from the object into the physical plane, a
single
target spell will only effect the actual object, a area effect spell
will
effect anything and everyone in its effect area with equal force.
Only spells
that can effect physical objects can be cast onto physical objects in
this
way.
