The magical barrier comes back to full strenght on the next action of the mage who is
sustaining it, what initiative and actions would you use for a quickened spell ? The
initiative of the mage who has very little to do with the spell since it was given an own
circuit in astral space ?
The mage is no longer pumpimg energy into the spell (sustaining it) so I'm not so sure the
barrier would not deteriorate.
