Certainly from the GM's side of the screen, NPC spell casters very much want to start casting at 10+ yards because PCs tend to close the distance terrifyingly fast and then murder happens. But if it's a resisted spell, that imposes really high penalties, and tends to result in a wasted effort. Entomb can be completely free but if you're casting at an effective skill of 9 you're not going anywhere fast.
