If that vase had been made of metal instead and was cracked all over then you couldnt fix it.I guess it is harder for the magic to fix metal objects.Why is it that to you 'breaks' must mean 'cracks'?How it works in my campaign isnt an issue. Although I already stated earlier that I have it cast on a point on the object in question. Otherwise you have issues like, 'what if the object is 20' in radius, hollow, and I cast silence on it? Does it do nothing? Is some area in the center of the object silenced but no actual part of the object is?There are places that the rules simply do not cover.As another question, say one of your players has an everburning torch.Now, most people play that it looks like it is burning just like a normal torch. Lets say it is 1' long.Now someone comes along and sands the opposite end a milimeter down. Does this end the spell?Someone comes along and chips off a piece of the torch, does this end the spell?We cut off an inch from the opposite side, set it on fire, and dance around the ashes. Does this end the spell?I put up the mending type of spells because they still treat the broken object as a single object unless it is completely annihilated. Note that broken into several pieces is certainly not any of the limiting conditions, 'warped, burned, disintegrated, ground to powder, melted, or vaporized, nor does it affect creatures'.There are holes in the rules unfortunately, and those places are dm's call territory. If there is a rule which states specifically what happens here I would love to hear it however.</blockquote>
