[QUOTE="TheGogmagog, post: 2282689, member: 27702"] After further thought: We have in the spell description block (RAW) that it's an emination. Emination is like a burst except it continues to radiate out for the duration of the spell [p175]. This puts me in mind of a magnetic field, or radiating light. Then we have the 'flavor text' terms: 'energy Field', again puts me in mind of magnetic field. 'hedges out', a hedge or hedge row is a fence made of hedges, more of a linear barrier. I did think that hedges out would be like pushes out, but I have not found a dictionary to support that version. 'forcing the barrier', this is actually more critical since it is the sentence that describes the condition upon which the spell fails. But barrier is not defined in game terms, so we turn to the dictionary: 1)A structure or object that impedes free movement 2) Any condition that makes it difficult to make progress or to achieve an objective. 1 sounds like a fence, 2 sounds like the magnetic field. So in the body of the spell, we have one term that leads us one way, one that leads us the other, and the condition that could mean either. But we have the defined subschool that indicates the continious field. And to nail the coffin shut, we compare to blade barrier. As an example of what they would have done if they meant for it to be a wall it specifies a wall in the effect. Although I'm disapointed for my planned use, I think it's A) [/QUOTE]
