You can't cast spells in space. The process of casting a spell makes
you have to go astral, so you can syncronize (sp?) the auras.

This is not strictly true. To cast a spell (other than damaging
manipulations) the magician must very briefly assense the target's aura.
This happens so quickly that he really isn't considered to be astrally
active at the time.

Quickly or not, it happens. The magician opens his senses to the
astral, even if only for a second or less. Ok... this is only my way of
seeing things, but, I see the astral space in outer space, as a void of
astral presence. So... if you open yourself to the astral, even if just
for a second, it's like if you open the "door" (sorry... can't remember
the proper word...) of a space shuttle in space.

Hmm.... anyway... that's the way I do in my campain...
