After a line of vigor is drawn, does the wave extend until it can't reflect, and then the tail follows, or does the section you drew just go?

There is little definitive discussion in the text. However, based on the Lines of Vigor interior art (see link or below), the tail stays where it was drawn, the front proceeds until it stops at something it can damage (rather than reflect) - then the whole line goes away since it is done (that's based on multiple times they point out that lines of vigor pass through or sweep away chalk left behind by destroyed Lines of Making - but never mention chalk left behind by Lines of Vigor).

Next, Nalizar began sending across Lines of Vigor. The snaky lines shot across the floor in a vibrating waveform, vanishing once they hit something.
