[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 194333, member: 2013"] [b]Disagree...[/b] By my reading, the spell cannot be cast. My definition of "magic used within" includes "casting a spell within." Anyway, my 5-minute definition of how AM-fields work is this... 1.) If a spell is cast and the caster or target is in an AM field, the spell automatically fails (for the purposes of area effects, the center of the area is what is checked). 2.) If an area effect is centered outside an AM field but would include the AM field in its range, the effect stops at the edge of the AM field as though it hit a wall of force. 3.) If the center of an ongoing area effect comes under the influence of an AM field, the entire effect is supressed. 4.) The durations of spells "supressed" in an AM field continue to "tick down." IOW, if I have three rounds left on a spell and step into an AM field for four rounds, the spell has already expired when I step back out. It does not "pause" the countdown - and then continue for three more rounds when I step back out . 5.) An AM field does not block a line of effect between two points that are both outside of the AM field (my so-called "quantum casting" effect). This is implicit in statement 1, by the way. Others don't necessarily agree with this, I know, but it seems to prevent most problems and ambiguities. One thing I do know... allowing a spellcaster to sit in an AM field and call down spells on his opponents is broken. --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
