I'm fairly certain that from what I've read of impressed spells and
disconnecting, which was a while before this thread came about, that if you
disconnected with impressed spells, you lose access to them until you
reconnect. As Jim stated, you basically can't flip the switch to release
them. So its not that you are no longer capable of keeping them in check,
its that you can't release the check.
