[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2968287, member: 1656"] Spells do not function within the AMF. Producing the Effect (like One summoned creature, or An orb of acid) is part of the spell's function. In the case of the Orb, if that function is successfully concluded, the Effect (the orb of acid) exists and is nonmagical. But inside the AMF, that function cannot be concluded, because spells don't function. So yes, the creation of the Effect within the AMF is impossible. But an instantaneous Effect created outside the field is unaffected if it enters the field. A non-instantaneous Effect is suppressed by the field. Casting Orb of Acid inside the field doesn't result in a suppressed effect; the spell does not function, and the effect never exists to be suppressed. Casting Orb of Acid to conjure the orb outside the field works fine, and sending into the field is no problem - the instantaneous conjuration effect is not suppressed. Casting Spiritual Weapon inside the field doesn't result in a suppressed effect, for the same reason. Casting Spiritual Weapon to evoke the weapon of force outside the field works fine... but sending it into the field will result in the (non-instantaneous, non-conjuration) effect being suppressed. Creating a Wall of Force inside the field can't be done; the spell does not function, so the Wall is not evoked. Creating the Wall outside the field is fine, and if the field is subsequently maneuvered to contact the Wall, the Wall is unaffected per its description. It would hang around doing what non-magical lightning does. A non-magical orb of acid will presumably seep into the ground. A non-magical orb of fire will gutter out for lack of fuel. A non-magical orb of electricity will ground out. A non-magical orb of force will, I would assume, sit there being impervious to just about everything and tripping up passing ethereal filchers. -Hyp.
