Delay and Link

That's a little vague. There's no real question that Lasting, Permanent, and Enchantment spells can continue to run after the caster dies, but Temporary spells do still retain some link to the original caster (he has spells on penalties, can willfully dispel them, and can maintain them at the appropriate time), so there is a justifiable argument for them ending (the rules do not specifically address this point as far as I know). Link it a particularly obnoxious case because it looks in most ways like a Lasting spell, but it does give a 'spells on' penalty, albeit 1/3 the normal value.
