What I meant when I mentioned attacking the spell was attacking it in astral
hand-to-hand combat or dispelling it, not sending a spell against it.

Unless the target is astrally active, he wouldn't know about a spell coming
at him until it hit him. And he wouldn't be able to allocate his spell
defense dice to anything unless he declared it on his previous action. And,
I believe the allocation of spell defense dice has a LOS requirement. So, I
don't think you can allocate dice to something in astral space unless you
were astrally active.
