I was positive that Magic Rating limited the range of spell defense....

It must have been a house rule in the campaign I started shadowrun in, 6
years ago, and it just got so ingrained that I *thought* it was in the
standard rules....

Thwap away....

It's a reasonable idea, considering that Magic Rating (or a multiple of it
anyway) is the range for LOTS of things..

That's why I was positive it was in there....

Yeah, I could easily see how someone would rule that it is within such
an area, due to detection spells, etc. However, I think it's a bit too
limiting that way. After all, you can (generally) target anyone you can
see with a spell, so why shouldn't you be able to target anyone you can
see with spell defense?
