[QUOTE="Moon-Lancer, post: 2970261, member: 35798"] i said this in another forum, but i will say it in this one. Its like a rail gun (metal gear solid type) the caster probably just uses sudden force to propel the orb. An anti magic field can stop magic that is sent through it, but what if the orb is sent using magic that sends it by kinetic force at the moment of casting. Also i don’t know why people say orbs are left over after words. sure its instantaneous, but if i use a spell to create a delicate object and hurl it at you, what makes you think its going to survive the impact. I think hypersmerf is right in this case. All the creation is done at the moment the orb is launched, and I think personally the ob breaks on impact releasing its energy. I don’t know why everyone is so up and arms about this spell. All it takes is an imagination. It really is a cool spell. so whats your real beef? That it takes away from evocation? Or that dms have less power with antimagic fields? If that’s the case, shouldn’t that be the argument and your real reason for saying you don’t like it, rather then saying its hooky or wonky, or stupid or retarded, or dumb. I really don’t think it was a mistake in printing the spell. Maybe afterwards they realized what they had done, but they could errata it at any time and they haven’t. Just face it. It is what it is... [/QUOTE]
