Okay, I lied... this is my last post. :)

Okay, if an Astral mage can hold up a FAB-lined net, where does it end?
What if I've got that FAB-lined net wrapped around, oh, 10 tonnes or so
of solid lead mass? Can the mage still hold it up? Is there an upper
limit? If so, what is it? Why does it give in?

Hey, I'm serious... it's that quote I gave about the blue whale that
brought it to mind. (Hmm... maybe I should try a
genetically-reconstructed brontosaurus...)

I'll concede you're right if you can give me an answer besides "Oh, the
mage holds it up", which, quite frankly, is ridiculous.
