The limitation was that you could not Anchor a Damaging Manipulation spell
with a Damage Code of M or greater to a Dikoted weapon without screwing the
Dikote.

The spell will last for as long as you specify using a Temporal Link, or if
you do not specify a Temporal Link, then you must sustain the spell. But
yes, after it runs out, you need to put the spell back into it again (but
the enchanting operation to make the weapon a suitable receptical for the
Anchoring only needs to be done once).

No one, Gurth said I should change it to "Unofficial", rather than
"Nominee", so I did. [Didn't you see that in one of his posts?]

[Said in a slow, drawn out drawl]

Well, I'd like to thank my Mum, and my Dad, and my cat Snoffy, and my
goldfish Bubbles, and Kieth for nominating me, and the bloke I met in
Woolworths the week before who told me the story of his life, and my quirky
Unix system - it makes life all that much more interesting, and the bacteria
in my bathroom, and Fate herself, and the DLoH for making the game, and, and
and...

[3.5 hours later, after everyone's gone to sleep]

...and lastly I'd like to thank the guy three terminals down from me in the
computer lab, 'cause he's wearing a cool T-Shirt.

But, seriosuly, I'm not a guru, I just know the SR rules and world pretty
well. And, as you've no doubt noticed, I'm not infallible, nor very learned
in general.
