I'll have to disagree with Roderick here. I see no reason that the resistance would be 14. The wind probably does not blow to the far away city (not continuously, winds aren't usually like that). A 14 resistance applies only when you're doing just what the magic says, and travelling to a distant city is not in the description.

No, because there is magical resistance -- 14 is the background resistance of the universe.
(Personally, I think a house rule ignoring the "sometimes you get 14 resistance" would be quite reasonable -- it's the way Hero Wars handled things, and they worked fine as a game, even if they might not model Glorantha as accurately.)
