Are there some offensive spells that work in sancts?

It was in TSC and I know a sanct was up because it stopped me using warcry, but I also saw

XXX gestures while calling upon the lesser spirits
XXX gestures at YYY
warded off

Surely a spell that requires a warding check should be stopped by the sanct?

>Maybe it was 102? - WYNTRFRSH

That would be the one. 513 is another spell with a warding check. These are exceptions to the 'spell of war' sanctuary restrictions because of their respective DS/bolt AS benefits.

At an Inn table:

> pre 102
You gesture while calling upon the lesser spirits to aid you with the Spirit Barrier spell...
Your spell is ready.

You gesture at YYYYY.
CS: +xxx - TD: +xxx + CvA: +2 + d100: +51 - +5 == +102
Warding failed!
The air thickens and begins to swirl around YYYYY.

>pre 513
You recite a series of mystical phrases while raising your hands, invoking Elemental Focus...
Your spell is ready.

You gesture at YYYYY.
CS: +xxx - TD: +xxx + CvA: +2 + d100: +93 - -5 == +140
Warding failed!
YYYYY bristles with energy.

> pre 110
You utter a light chant and raise your hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to aid you with the Unbalance spell...

>cast XXXXX
Be at peace my child, there is no need for spells of war in here.

Neither can be STOPped when self-cast:

>stop 102
Stop what?

>stop 513
Stop what?
