Good spell, but I have a question..you say the wizard must controll ALL
sources in the province he cast the spell in..I assume that this means the
spell only affect ley lines that happen to cross his/her province. This
would mean the caster might get control of a ley line that he/she doesn't
have sources to make in the terminating and originating provinces. If
this spell is successful, does the wizard automatically gain control of
these sources? Does he/she get a lvl 0 source in each province..if so
wouldn't that mean the line disappears as the BOM states that if the
source lvl drops to 0 the line disappears? Just wondering some of these
before I put it to use against my PCs :)
