OTOH, one moderate level ward _can_ wipe them all out in a single foul
swipe... And, if you think about it, it would be cheaper karma wise, since a
magician can perform an Enchanting test to cheapen the karma cost, and the
Target Number is based on the Rating of the focus. But anyway, there are
equally enough downsides as upsides to it.
