Of course, it states in the description walls of force aren't susceptible to damage, which would imply a similar immunity to damage incurred by being poked in an edge.As for being cut, suppose I swing a rope through the edge of a wall of force. I then pull on this rope. Since the wall of force is impenetrable, the tension force of the end of the rope I'm pulling on simply doesn't transmit to the other side, nor the other way around, as if the other end were held immobile, and in the absence of this, doesn't this seem to suggest that the rope has become two seperate ropes, and has therefore been cut? Otherwise, if somebody were leaning against a wall of force, and from the other side, I struck at him with a hammer, he would feel that and potentially suffer damage, or if somebody was on one side of the wall, and I pressed a lit torch against the other side, it would burn him.Hmm. And walls of force are invisible. Does this mean they are only invisible in the visible spectrum, or does this mean that energy passes freely through the wall of force? If I fire a laser at somebody on the other side of a wall of force, what happens?</blockquote>
