Read the spell. The way to make a STRONGER barrier is to make the force
higher. Having more mages help means you get more dice, only. However...
that means you can risk casting a stronger force spell which would fry your
butt if you cast it alone. Just remember, everyone needs to know the spell
at the desired force.

(This is something that really gives the old magical groups the edge.
Worried about invading runners? Use ritual magic to popup a force 20
barrier, then sustain it. :) I'd like to see them get through THAT in a
hurry.)
