[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8170777, member: 6788736"] The same supernatural stuff that allows dragons to exist, fly and breath lighting bolts, or allows Ghosts to exist and walk through walls, or allows Golems to wander around talking to people - none of which is magical. Supernatural yes. Bot not [B]magical [/B]for game rule purposes. No it is [B]not [/B]a magical effect. The effect would say it if it was. 5E class features, abilities and so forth [B]are only magical if they expressly say they are.[/B] Hurl through Hell for example (literally hurling someone to Hell and back) is not 'magical' either, nor is a 14th level Dragon Sorcerer suddenly growing wings and flying away. Supernatural yes. But not magical for game rule purposes. No, the Devs [B]deliberately [/B]either include (or omit) the words 'magical, magically or magic' when describing game features. If one of those words is in the feature description (or it uses spell slots, is a spell or mirrors spellcasting) its magical. If the words 'magical, magically or magic' is not included in the feature, its not intended to be 'magical; for rules purposes (supernatural perhaps, but not magical). You cant summon the weapon for other reasons in an AMF (probation on extradimensional travel). But it isnt magically summoned; the summoning is part of the supernatural background physcis of the game world, and not magical for rules purposes. [/QUOTE]
