Yep, I was aware of that. My question however concerns non-anchored spells.
I know that its a typo, but in the Grimoire the "Spark" spell is listed to have
a duration of Sustained, this is the kind of thing I am interested in (you know
the kinda thing the Emperor tries on Luke in ROTJ). What would happen if a mage
wanted to continuously cast a damaging spell (it is conceivable for a spell like
Spark).
