IMI, (In My Interpretation) quickening a spell is fundamentally the same as
locking it to the spell's target instead of a focus. So, when you ground
through a quickened spell, you are actually grounding through the target of
the spell (just like grounding through dual-natured beasties or, lately,
street sams.) >8-> The spell itself, augmented by the magician's Initiated
power, is the "real" connection between astral space and target.

Then again, I don't have the Grimthingy handy on me right now, so there's a
very good chance I'm interpreting things just plain wrong. Someone correct
me if this is the case.


Blessings,
