And verily, did Brian Moore hastily scribble thusly...
|
|I'm looking for some opinions...
|
|My mage casts Invisibility on my buddy street sam and then locks the
|spell with a spell lock. My mage deactivates the lock (and therefore
|the spell) and carries around the lock. At a pre-arranged time, he
|activates the lock, which should activate the invisibility spell.
|
|Does it matter if my buddy street sam is halfway across town?
|(IMHO, the lock has to be with the spell on the street sam.)

The mage can only activate or de-activate the spell lock by physical contact
with the lock. If he activates a lock he's carrying that's locking a spell
on someone elss, the bonding will break.

|Where is the actual spell (for astral combat purposes)? Is it with
|my mage, the lock, the street sam, or some place in between?
|(IMHO, the spell is on the street sam.)

The lock, whilst active, must be on the street sam.

|If another mage wants to ground a spell through the lock, does he have
|to cast the spell on the focus (with my mage) or the spell (whereever
|that is)? (I think the rules say the focus.)

It has to be on the focus, which has to be where the spell is.
