There's two things going on here. Spells are the things we shoot off a bunch of times in a day at varying slot levels and with restrictions like concentration. Dispel Magic is made for those. Enchantments are built into some sort of item, and the rules mostly steer clear of creating or...

But you're not dispelling the energy, you're dispelling the effect. You cast your dispel magic at some other kind of magical effect. I'm a little tied up, but can anybody confirm that there are no non-instantaneous magical spells that move as fast as an arrow or even a thrown weapon? And I don't...

Going off of the same three lines I quoted, the energy is there, but the spell has yet to come into effect. For example with EB, I wouldn't say that the laser exists yet, there's only the Warlock concentrating on a readied spell. They've muttered their special words and knit their little crochet...

It's definitely lower cost if you can cast it when they're using their reaction, but based on the three lines I quoted that's not a legal move. However, smacking them in the face to break their concentration is even cheaper, so if that's your concern have the guy that took mage slayer get up...

That's simple enough- "You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell" p228 "Casting Time: ... when you see a creature... casting a spell" & "When you cast a spell, you cast it as normal but hold its energy, which you release with your reaction" p193 So you do that right...

Why do you care? Is this purely a curiosity thing, or is this the first stage of an logical argument?

No, I stated that you've said something that is untrue. Lying carries the extra baggage of intent, and for someone to be a liar comes down much more to continued intention to lie after having recognized that they've told a lie. There's some room in there for willful ignorance and other behavior...

I've already responded to this exact question.

Yeah. Red Herring. I'm not attacking him for conjecture. I'm not attacking him for conjecture. I'm not... Did I ever pose a false dichotomy? If not, then I haven't done the same thing as him. I thought you liked all of these debate terms. Why are you so reluctant to recognize them now? Yeah...

No, we're not in agreement about that. It's fallacious. Forget everything I've said about how EB could possibly work. Still with me? Ok, now what's left is "that is a false dichotomy" leveled at Ariel. Please stop detracting from this actual point I made. Ariel did not present that as...

I've bolded the part that's factually wrong, and thinking about it you're overstepping a bit by saying that I was only posing a hypothetical. I will restate the order of events to clarify. 1. Ariel Black is complaining about not being able to dispel Eldritch blast because he's damn sure that...

I was more subtle with his, but saying that this is about realism seems like an awfully blatant scarecrow fallacy. I posed a hypothetical. He presented quotes saying that my proposal was impossible according to the rules. At no point in this exchange has he presented anything as a hypothetical...

What you've quoted does not say what you are claiming it says. For what you're claiming you would need a quote that talks about actions being indivisible snapshots; that other actions cannot happen in the middle, but rather before or after, and at this point we know there is no such text in the...

I think the flaw here is in your assumption that the VSM stuff is completely over by the time any magical part of a cast spell action takes place. After reading through the fluff about what casting a spell is in relation to the weave, I'm picturing the multiple beams thing being like some of...

When I was unemployed and sat at home all day I had the time to read back and forth through threads like that, but now I really don't. Simply solution for that though: Guess I was wrong. If you say that that topic isn't settled for you and you still talk about it then you kind of automatically...

It not containing quotes of every phrase you've uttered doesn't make it a strawman, and you made the damn argument. You should at least have a good idea of what you've used to support the claim, and maybe even when you cited things. Did you refer to any tweets? You already know, I do not yet...

Why would it require a bunch of new rules? You can either do it or you can't. Reactions happen after their trigger. There wouldn't even be many edge cases if we were told told that you can do this. In line with my earlier comments about calling fallacy: I think you should actually elaborate a...

I acknowledge your style suggestion and reject it. I kind of feel like we've already been through this, but now it's so formal I almost think you'd quote it the next time you critique me for not skimming through this enormous thread for an inconsequential direct quote. I thought we were...

So much for not starting that up again. Why would the mage slayer feat talk about this at all?

You called it a cop out or some such.
