I remember the first time it came up in my original campaign that was
one of the possibilities I considered, but I decided instead that what
happened was you just lost the impressed spells, they went away. Seemed
nicer than blowing up the poor mage character who had nothing but
fireballs and lightning bolts impressed. :)

But that's also why I'm sure there was an official WEG answer at some
point because I remember later on reading a different answer and
switching to that ruling; that you don't lose the impressed spells,
they're just unusable while disconnected.
