Just a comment on my part, here. I don't play a mage, but Bull, my ork
decker has taken a deadly wound twice in his long career. The first time he
was unlucky enough to be standing far too close to a dragon for his own
good. The second time demonstrated just how dangerous spell locks can be.
We were fighting a dozen force 6-8 wasp spirits (not the felshforms), and
one of them went astral and hit me with it's poison attack through an armor
lock. Not only was my target number rather high, but my illustrious GM
chose taht night to suddenly roll a success on EVERY one of his dice (and
tehre were quite a few rolling behind that screen...). Needless to say,
Bull spent several days visiting Doc Wagon...:)
