I can't for the life of me remember the rule on this, nor can I seem to
find it.

If a mage/shaman is sustaining a spell on someone, and they lose LOS with
that person, can they keep sustaining the spell? Or does the spell
terminate because they lost LOS with their target?

I remember at least one spell states in its description that LOS does not
need to be maintained (and thus the same should apply to all sustained
spells) ... Unfortunately, I can't remember what spell it was :)

I can't find it either, however I do not believe this should be necessary
*IF* the magician is using Astral Perception in order to help him/her retain
a "visual/psychic" connection with the spell's energies.

AFAIK, once cast, any spell can be sustained as long as the caster cares
to do so, regardless of LOS. I can't find a reference either way, but it
makes sense that if you can maintain a touch spell once the subject leaves
touch range, you could maintain a LOS spell once they leave LOS.

On page 178 of SRIIIrulebook: Sustained spells can be mantained over time.
As long as the caster concentrate on the spell it remains in effect. This
requieres no action on part of the caster. When concentrtion is lost, the
spell's efect disappear.

I think this clarifies things, right?

See ya
