I suppose you missed the part where I said "spell locks". =)
Do you get a mod for casting through Barrier spells? *wishing I had my
rules handy* I know you get one if you try to cast through a mana
barrier, but a normal barrier? I remember the rules saying that the
spell "Barrier" does not stop magical effects, so I should think it
should swing both ways. I could see that if you were sustaining the
spell, you'd have that, but otherwise...?
