I made a similar barrier spell, only it was force 6 + 2(exp.fet) +2(excl)
for a total of 10. This would cripple unless it's quickened or locked,
which it is. Now it takes a weapon with base 30 power to break the barrier
in one shot. Not likely to happen in a rustle with the local street gang.

So remember, all you mages out there, always lock, quicken, elemental
sustain, your exclusive spells!
