Player A is sitting in a room that isn't normally sancted and casts 213. This room can be in town or in the wilds, doesn't matter. Player B comes along, and is bothered by Player A's sanctuary (pick a reason, I don't really care). They discuss, and Player A declines to STOP 213. Player B, who is much higher level than Player A and with greater skills, casts 213, overwrites Player A's sanct, and then stops it.

Mechanics abuse? If so, why are sanctuaries able to be overwritten by people with greater skills?

>Maybe I missed something, and I'm certainly no GM, I can say this however: control of a 213 (minor sanctuary) cannot be taken away from the caster by the casting of another 213, regardless of training/level/skill differences.

I just tested it now and wasn't able to "steal" the sanct from a friend, but we are fairly similar in levels/training. I could have sworn I did it a few weeks back in Shattered though. Someone cast a sanct, I cast one right after, typed stop 213, and shortly thereafter had a dead guy at my feet.
