[/EDIT]Under the general description for AntiMagic, it says that only Epic items and spells, and deities operate inside one.  No spells, no spell-like abilities, no items, and few if any spernatural abilities.Now, oddly, you can cast some spells through an AntiMagic effect.  Some are specifically designed to be cast into them.Any Area of Effect spell, such as Lightning Bolt or Cone of Cold cast will affect areas outside the AntiMagic normally, so long as the point of origin for the spell is outside the AM area as well.One minor abuse of this might be:  Caster is standing 75 feet (15 squares) away from a Beholder or other creature using an AntiMagic Ray (either as the spell or the natural ability).  Since these versions of AntiMagic have a 60 foot range, the caster is outside the area itself, so they throw Lightning Bolt.  The LB spell is an Area of Effect.  It's suppressed within the AntiMagic effect itself, but works normally both before and after that AntiMagic area.  The Beholder or caster of the AMR is not actually inside their own AntiMagic area, so... ZZZAAAPPP!There is debate about Line of Effect on tricks like this, so consult with your DM first.  AntiMagic never says it interrupts Line of Effect, but many believe that it does/should.Instantaneous Conjurations effects can affect creatures or objects inside an AntiMagic field, so long as the Conjuration itself takes place outside.For example, a Wall of Iron could be cast outside the field, then allowed to topple on someone inside.More directly, there are several of the Orb spells that conjure Acid, Lightning or whatever in the caster's hand and then project it at a target.  The acid (or lightning or whatever) isn't considered "magical" once conjured, any more than the Wall of Iron is, and so will continue to exist within the AntiMagic area.Even the Cantrip Acid Splash will work this way, for exactly the same reason:  The spell Conjures the acid, then sends it.  Duration is Instantaneous, so the acid, once conjured, is "real".</blockquote>
