Clarification on Fortress: (text copied for convenience, emphasis mine)

This spell provides its target with limited immunity to weapon attacks. The spell will last ten minutes or until the target breaks the spell's physical requirements. The target of the spell must plant his or her feet and raise both arms above the head without crossing them. Moving either foot or lowering an arm ends the spell. Any body damage taken also breaks the Fortress. The target may touch-cast spells (on themselves only) but may use no other Game Abilities without breaking the protections of the Fortress. While the Fortress lasts, the target is immune to weapon blows of 10 or less.

Specifically in reference to the target *MUST.* If I validly hit a baddie with a fortress are the obligated to plant feet and raise arms (and then can immediately drop them once completed) akin to Shun (If the victim is within ten feet when the spell is cast, the victim *MUST* move away) and in both cases neither spell provides a benefit unless the somatic is maintained?

EDIT:
The above is the CMA text. The rulebook text is below for further context:

Per the ARB 2.1.2

Effect Durations
All effects have specific durations. These durations are the same no matter what caused the effect.

Concentration: This effect lasts as long as the caster maintains Focus. The target of a concentration effect that has physical requirements may choose to decline the effect simply by not applying the physical requirements. All normal defenses must be used first. In no case can these effects be used to force an unwilling target to break another effect’s physical requirements.
