1) I didn't miss the point. I was leading up to it with my evidence. It's
too bad you missed the parallelism.

2) Don't yell. It's impolite and I am fully capable of paying attention
without it. Also, there is a message around to the dual effect that DLoH
didn't write the Grimoire and that the guy who did disagrees with your
(loud) point. Ergo, 'twould seem that not only do you have no evidence to
support your (loud) point, there is significant evidence to refute you.

Nope, grounding is not possible through astral perception, but you can
cast spells at the mage. An area-affect spell would only affect the mage.

Yea, right. Either quit yelling and provide some evidence, or just quit
yelling. Perhaps you could still yell, and perhaps you could still beat
your "DLoH said ..." wardrum, but until you can give a reason you won't
have actually shown anything but your (woefully faith-based) opinion.

Note: This is not a flame.
