The sorcerer. Here's the conversation:
I asked:
The Ecclesiarch of Seshnela decrees that all wizards will maintain a
2 point light spell on his cathedral at all times,
[My visions was each sorcerer would maintain a "lightbulb" on the
cathedral. Sure, this isn't threatening to the world, but one could
find unbalancing examples.]
Sandy answered:

I asked for clarification, Sandy said:
> Spells are canceled when the target or caster moves outside their Range.
[I take this to mean the distance between the two, not as relative
to some fixed spot.]
