Nothing new here, but am I the only one who finds the rules for wards rather
odd? As it stands, in order to make a strong barrier, you have to make it
low force. This doesn't make sense to me. Shouldn't the force alone be used
for all apsects, or does the barrier rating become the new force?

I presume that mage is astrally projecting, as wards have no physical presence.
This is exactly what I was thinking of. A force 2 ward shouldn't be
impossible to pass through and a force 14 (Is this even possible? *grin*)
shouldn't
be easy to astrally float thru.
