[Torg] Another round of magic questions

[Chris]

I didn't think the mage in the example from the original post was
disconnected. Though maybe I'm missing some crucial piece of contextual
information. Other than that, I have nothing to add to this discussion. But
under the impression that the mage is not disconnected, the rules on 212
would apply and the rules on 207 would be moot.
