An archtype provides magic only to the "Band Leader", although they may be able to cast it on other band members, depending on the nature of the magic
A Manifestation performs all the magic itself. Again, where appropriate it may be cast on members of the hero band
An Emanation provides its magic to all members of the Hero Band (providing they meet the criteria laid down by the band* and the guardian being)

Good question!
In the first two cases, where some one or some thing is casting the
magic, then yes, the normal rules for range (and for multiple
targets) presumably apply. In the case of an Emanation, I'm less
certain, and it might vary from case to case. In some cases,
providing one upholds the requirements of the guardian spirit (and
providing they don't require it's presence) one will always have the
benefits. In others, travelling too far from the object which house
the spirit may cause you to forfeit the benefit.
Note that the Guardian Beings write up
(http://www.glorantha.com/hw/guardian_beings.html) says the Hero Band
must keep the host object safe. Presumably if they loose it then
everyone looses the benefits it was supplying
