[QUOTE="poilbrun, post: 2495894, member: 532"] Such an interpretation could explain an upper limit for the effectiveness of an anti-magic spell.

When a spellcaster casts anti-magic field, he actually severs the access to the magical energy he can see around him. Faced with a anti-magic field cast by a 15th level wizard, a 25th level wizard would just say [i]"well, kiddo, you forgot this and that bit"[/i] and cast his spell normally. I hope this makes sense, I'm not sure either when I reread it, even though it's crystal clear in my mind. [/QUOTE]
