As I have mentioned before, I have "patrols" of ganger mages and shamans
just waiting for a lock to drop a spell through in the astral (in certain
areas anyway). I also use this in corp sites, but on a much nastier level
(our players don't like corp penetrations). Doesn't matter what level you
are when you get a powerbolt grounded through you to start off a fight
against someone who you don't even know is there. You need to spend the
action to go astral as well, while the attacker could have bolted by then or
could be dropping more astral nastiness at leisure.

GM's... don't let your mages off the hook easy. They know there's a price
to pay for doing little things wrong, sometimes they just need a reminder ;)
