I believe I have managed to extract the crux of your argument. However, Herr
Waisley, you are overlookinng the fact that your No Physcial Presence Theory
has been proposed the last two (?) times this argument has surfaced. It was
with this in mind that I asked Tom Dowd.
I specifically cited the argument you propose to him, which he rejected.
He did, however, mention some limitations:
1. Only Physical Spell may be grounded in this manner.
2. Are of effect spells will only damage the object the spell has been
quickened on (the magician). In other words, you CAN ground a
Fire Ball this way, but you will only scorch the mage, not the
immediate vicinity.
