Yeah - exactly. If it were a manipulation spell I would ask myself
whether to keep the barrier rating as it is or halve it, but Ram is a
combat spell, so the barrier rating should be doubled. The problem is
that in the spell description it says the barrier rating is halved
(which would be O.K. in my eyes, because this spell is designed to
damage barriers). The only problem with that are these two words "as
indicated" !!! Where is it indicated ??? Definitely NOT on p.98...

I think now you all understand what'y bothering me.
