Ok, reading the recent updates, I realize I've been reading Illusory Wall wrong. Now it makes perfect sense to me as written:
It blocks line of sight.
If a creature moves next to it, the caster may choose to make an attack.
If the attack hits, the creature can't move through it this turn.
If the attack misses, the creature can move through it for the entire encounter, and it no longer blocks line of sight for that creature.
I didn't notice that "blocks line of sight" and "creature can't move through it" were separate effects!
So the intent's pretty clear: if someone moves next to the wall, you can let them pass through, or you can choose to gamble and try and block them, but risk blowing the illusion entirely.
So, I withdraw my proposal to amend Illusory Wall. In fact, I withdraw all my proposals except the one about Grease. And I make the following new proposals instead:
1. Approve Planar Gateway as printed in the new errata.
2. Approve Illusory Wall as printed in the new errata.
3. Ban the entire Dragon magazine Illusions article, since all the powers in it are already in Arcane Power.
Plus 2 proposals are still open:
Approve Grease as-is: 1 YES (proposed by covaithe, yes vote from me)
Approve Grease with the amendment "sliding back into the zone does not trigger the attack again": 1 YES (proposed by me, yes vote from covaithe)
It blocks line of sight.
