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

Nope. Thems the rules.
A spell lock locks a spell TO a subject.
(Lets not say person right now.... See below)

|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.

Right. Lets say the "subject" of the spell is a fridge.
You cast your spell on the fridge, lock it, and go.
The fridge is now spell locked, but if the active lock is then removed by
somoene, the bond is broken....
