I'm assuming this is your opinion (which I did ask for), since you
didn't mention any rule references.

So how do you handle spell locks that aren't placed on people? I think
Lone Star or other groups have (area effect?) Preserve spell locks used
to preserve ritual samples. There are lots of applications for Spell
Locks that don't involve people. I would assume that a Spell Lock must
be somewhat near the spell it is maintaining.
