[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 134276, member: 1622"] [b]Re: Line of Effect...[/b] I would tend to disagree with your ruling here. This seems to indicate that the wizard was able to start casting the spell, but it was interrupted. It seems to me that there isn't even the possibility of starting to cast a spell. The wizard can go through the motions as usual, but it has as much effect as when the fighter of the party does the same thing - i.e. nothing happens at all. Of course, it's all up to interpretation as to how exactly the whole memorization thing works. Personally, on the question in general, I would rule that antimagic field limit the range at which you can start a spell. To the mage it would feel as if he's trying to target something beyond the range of the spell if he tried to target it beyond an anti-magic field.
