Sources are obviously a required ingredient in the _casting_ of the spell.
The first question is not whether or not the mage is required, but whether or
not the source is - after the casting. Something must be keeping the effect
going.

As for the death of the caster, there is one example of a spell failing at
death, Stronghold. Are there any other "permenant" realm spells? If there
are, I would probably use a similar affect for them. However, if a mage had
used the actual spell permenancy (with the possibility of con loss), it should
continue after the death of the mage. But Stronghold is the only spell
mentioned as being capable of being made permenant that I recall.
