[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 1944709, member: 10397"] Be that as it may, as it is to me it still seems near useless for a 6th level spell, since it makes you totally unable to affect enemies. Which means that if some big brutish thing that doesnt depend on spells or magical equipment happens along, your toast. I'd rather have a Globe of Invulnerability myself. See thats totally illogical to me. Its an antimagic field...an area that magic doesnt function within. So...you cant cast spells out of it....into the normal area where magic still functions...but you can cast spells on yourself, inside the area where magic no longer functions. Even if they are immediately supressed...it still seems very, very strange. And like a very minimal overall benefit for a 6th level spell, especially since a wizard's self buffing capabilities are really somewhat limited. using a 6th level spell to raise a very limited defense, so you can raise more defenses? Make yourself immune to the enemy wizard's spells so you can cast...what? Stoneskin? Mage Armor? Spell Turning, ok...but why not just cast that in the first place? Seems like Sanctuary would be just about as helpful. [/QUOTE]
