talking about a spell sustained for longer duration's then it gets more
into the area of sleep deprivation. At that point I would start
increasing the level on the player's stun chart as they ignore the need
for sleep and rest. I don't recall if there were any rules on long tem
fatigue in SR3.

After reading the rules again I think you are write. It only specifies
that whenever the caster gets wounded he can loose his concentration and
the spell is broken.

However since concentration on the spell to sustain is necessary, I
would increase the difficulty on other actions the caster wants to do.
After all you just don't walk away to go and do other things, you got to
keep the spell in mind.

Just my thoughts.
