Forcing an abjuration barrier against creatures that the spell keeps at bay collapses the barrier.]One aspect of a barrier is that what it blocks cannot enter and is stopped if an attempt to enter it is made, just like walking repeatedly into a wall.  I mention the antilife shell because it gives us an example of a magical barrier complete with the description of what it explicitly blocks.Antimagic Field“this barrier is impervious to most magical effects, including spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities”So if we read this as impervious = solid then a spell or magical effect cannot enter the area. so if I walk into an antimagic field with my +2 sword it should be stopped from entering, thus if I charge in flailing my magical weapon to attack the vile mage I should have the weapon ripped from my hands upon entering the field. But that’s not what happens instead the magical effect on the sword is suppressed while in the field and my attack happens normally after that. So just how solid is the impervious barrier?Next where does it read that Line of effect is magical? Because if its not then its not blocked at all.And if it is magical then just like a magical arrow that travels through an antimagic field it is only suppressed while traveling through and regains its abilities upon exiting the field.</blockquote>
