Do you prevent Aid kiting?

First look up the concept of Check Kiting if you haven't heard about it.

The situation is that the ST 10 wizard has taken 20 total hits and has no healing. He is so dead.... except that he isn't. Because while taking these hits he cast Aid ST on himself from his staff mana and he continues to kite along the added ST by recasting it onto himself in further Aid spells.

If you'll excuse him now please he's off to walk to the nearest hospital at 1 MA.

I just allow it and wait for him to run out of ST to keep himself alive, and/or fail two castings in a row, since the spell only lasts two turns.

Each time he casts Aid successfully (for 10 ST), he can move 1 and then run full MA one turn before casting again. But he'd better hope the hospital is close and can heal 10 with some combo of physicking and healing potions.
