And I'm getting really tired of having to keep pointing out that DRTs
*are* modified for casting and sustaining multiple spells. Just to make
sure everybody gets the point, here's the direct quote from the first
paragraph, page 129, SRII:

"The magician does, however, suffer a +2 modifier to all target numbers
involved in casting the spells and TO RESIST THE DRAIN per stacked spell."
(my capitals). Therefore, I say that anyone sustaining 3 Barrier spells
gets a +6 modifier the the DRT for casting any spell.
