[QUOTE="ElectricDragon, post: 4737839, member: 10778"] I agree with your DM on the first part as the spell has no (S) and it says: The caster can form the wall into a flat, vertical plane... Seemingly, this is your only option. As to the second, the only thing I can find in the spell that even suggests that the spell has to be at ground level is this: (though ethereal creatures can usually get around the wall by floating under or over it through material floors and ceilings) It doesn't exactly say "must be created on the ground"; and even though this sentence suggests it, I would not make casters stretch the wall from floor to ceiling because it would stop non-ethereal creatures (without some other way than mundane movement). I say, hovering invisible walls would be okay. Other than a little damage (comparatively) and an embarassing pratfall; the dragon should be fine. It had to be flying at least at half speed (75 ft.) and would have fallen 30 ft. for a total of 7d6 crashing damage and 3d6 falling damage, which is pretty skimpy for a 5th level spell until you factor in the "not flying anymore" thingy. Ciao, Dave [/QUOTE]
