This is absurd. The Moon has NO LIFE (unless the GM rules otherwise). You
cannot cast spells in orbit, because there is no practical Astral Space .
thre. So, you cannot cast spells on the moon, period. If there is life
on Mars, it will be EASIER, not HARDER than casting spells on the moon.

Which is why I said 'unless the GM rules other wise above. But your
definition does not jive with FASA's.

Yes, it's kind of hard to perceive through what ain't there.
