Yes its dependant on the receiver of the spell, because what happens is, even though the server thinks "Ok, this spell is landing on the client.. Its a 15 minute duration", it will start a timer to count it down, however the client sees the spell land and think "Ok, 5 minute duration.". When the timer reaches 0 on the client, it sends a message to the server saying "Hey, This buff is fading on me." The server says "Oh, It shouldn't be, but ok <delete>" (It may use the same packet for clicking a buff off). That's why the client must have the right file.
