[QUOTE="kerbarian, post: 2968039, member: 40393"] Hmm... where does it say that AMF breaks line of effect? As far as I can tell, the only effect it has on spells is to suppress their effects. My preferred interpretation for this is based on the rest of the sentence from antimagic field (emphasis added): "The effects of instantaneous conjurations are not affected by an antimagic field [b]because the conjuration itself is no longer in effect[/b], only its result." While instantaneous conjuration spells are generally no longer in effect by the time an AMF would interact with what they've created, I'd say that's not true of either Orbs or healing spells. Healing spells are the clearer example -- no part of the effect happens outside of the AMF, so obviously the spell would have to be in effect at some point inside the AMF for anything to happen. Therefore, the clause about instantaneous conjurations doesn't apply to healing spells. I'd also argue that Orb spells are in effect for the entire flight path and impact of the Orb, even though that whole duration, by the rules, is instantaneous (just like firing an arrow is instantaneous). Which would mean that the Orb spells also don't benefit from the instantaneous conjuration clause. Any spell you cast while in an AMF would be suppressed, but I think you could still cast it. And if the AMF went away (dismissed, etc.), I believe any such spells would come into effect if their durations hadn't expired yet. Also, I don't see any reason you couldn't cast a Wall of Force or Prismatic Wall/Sphere inside an AMF. There's nothing that explicitly prevents you from casting inside an AMF, and those spells (unlike most others) wouldn't be suppressed after they're cast. [/QUOTE]
