Creatures and Objects.I’d say that DM is within the rules, but only because summoning a thing out of thin air is clearly magical.
They’d be outside the rules if they said it disappears when you enter an AMF, though. I’d have to reread the ability more closely to say if it’s properties are dampened like a normal magic item, or if they seem to be more like a dragon’s breath or flight.
The weapon isn’t necessarily the same, though, because it’s just a sword that can be summoned that way, not one that only exists via summoning.Creatures and Objects.
A creature or object summoned or created by magic temporarily winks out of existence in the sphere. Such a creature instantly reappears once the space the creature occupied is no longer within the sphere.
Actually had this come up in a session last month. The War Domain Cleric had his Spiritual Weapon up when a beholder gazed upon the group with its Antimagic Cone. The Spiritual Weapon faded out, then popped back into existence the next round when the beholder deactivated the cone.
Not how I would rule it. It's a "floating spectral weapon" based on the spell description. It only exists due to the magic of the spell, therefore is snuffed out of existence until out of the Antimagic field or cone.The weapon isn’t necessarily the same, though, because it’s just a sword that can be summoned that way, not one that only exists via summoning.
Here’s the thing though. That doesn’t make a lick of sense. A dragon’s breath is a natural property of a living animal that exist in the world - no different than a fish’s ability to breathe underwater or a bombardier beetle’s ability to squirt burning chemicals out of its butt. A ghost’s etherealness is a property of the material it is made from, no different than matter existing in different states like solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. Golems are spirits bound by magic to bodies of inert matter, which makes them a bit of an edge case. But creating a pact weapon? That’s an ability humanoids don’t naturally have, granted by a powerful extraplanar being, often a god. There’s no way to explain that other than magic.The basic pact weapon (i.e. NOT an actual magic weapon you bind with a ritual) is created, not summoned or plane shifted.
It's not a magical process, it's as natural to D&D worlds as dragon breath, golems or ghosts.
