[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6049561, member: 6669384"] I made mine from wire. The garden shop carries "training wire" for plants, bendable steel with a green plastic coating. I bent it into shape using my battle mat as a guide. When it came time to close the form I worked it so I had a quarter inch or so of plastic cover hanging off one end, and an equal amount of bare wire exposed on the other. A few drops of glue on the wire before I slip the excess plastic over it and it's sealed for good. The 20 ft Radius template is the single most frequently used. Larger radius templates would be useful (40 foot radius for [I]Entangle[/I]), but they get so big that there's no way to transport them to the game without them getting bent or broken. Cones are also good, but the problem is that cone type spells can be cast in any direction, at any angle. No fixed template will do the job. The books give examples of two orientations, but the fact is that the orientation question makes them usable as examples only. The only other area the game deals with is the "line" effect, which again can be cast at any angle. Fixed templates don't work, and in fact any straight piece of string or wire will do the job. So will a line drawn on the map: The spell affects any square the line touches. [/QUOTE]
