[QUOTE="UltimaGabe, post: 1944633, member: 16019"] The spell would be far, far, far too powerful if that were the case. An enemy wizard could simply stand up on a high platform and cast spell after spell from behind a tower shield with absolutely no worry of retribution. The way it is, it's still quite a powerful spell- but it's got its drawbacks. Maybe you haven't had too many experiences with Antimagic fields, but the way it is, it's FAR too powerful to add in an incredible benefit like that. One thing that most people don't realize, however, is that you can still cast spells while in the antimagic field, they just don't have line of effect. What this means is that you can still cast spells on yourself while in the Antimagic field, since you don't need line of effect to cast spells on yourself. So while you're chillin' in the middle, safe from enemy spells and magic projectiles, you can be buffing yourself up horribly. They won't take effect until you dismiss the antimagic field, of course (as they're all suppressed for the duration of the AF) but once you do, you'll become uber-wizard. [/QUOTE]
