[QUOTE="Arravis, post: 4131229, member: 327"] *nods* I'm with you on the hair issue... as far as the aboleth, he's not going to be within the Mirage Arcana area, but in another part of the cave. And I don't see a reason why you couldn't make an area of solid earth, although its quite unlikely anyone would attempt to walk into the area... but let us assume that it was cast upon the area you're in. Yes, you would "feel yourself surrounded on all sides, you cannot breath, you cannot move, you cannot hear since your ears -feel- full of earth". You don't suddenly die of this and it couldn't suffocate you (although the creature might choose to hold its breath). Weird causes real damage and can potentially kill you outright, this wouldn't. Is it so different then using the spell to create quicksand? I don't see the problem you do. If someone is going to argue you can't create quicksand because of some "sense of gravity" or some other such thing... then why stop there? Why not make sand, mud, and snow not work... since you don't actually sink into anything. Its an environment changing spell... let it change the environment, otherwise, what's the point? [/QUOTE]
