Close, but no cigar. The size of the barrier is a dome (in this version,
I don't think a wall would be right) with a radius of the magic ratign
of the casting magician. The barrier rating is the spell rating. The
successes doesn't do anything (one success is enough to bring the
barrier up). The only chance to alter the size of the barrier is to
withhold dice from the success test. To make it bigger withold 1 die
for 1 meter plus. To make it smaller withold 2 dice per one meter.
So, hmmm.. barrier the size of a circus tent? Tricky. Don't start
under a magic rating of .. maybe 9 or 10 and a spell with force rating
8-10.
bye,
Stefan
