Than the old question is up again. Barrier rating is halved 'cause of the
ram spell and then doubled 'cause it's a combat spell. That makes the
original barrier rating in the end, right?
I think the spell is heavy enough with the original barrier rating anyway.
Think of a Force 6 spell with maybe 3 successes or 4 and you got a final
rating of 10. Tough hit if you ask me (but who did ...?)
