Message: <blockquote data-quote="Korak" data-source="post: 1438574" data-attributes="member: 9781">Would someone be kind enough to post a coherent explanation of how a Cube of Force works?  The debate in my group has not been resolved.  The full text of the cube is below.  In addition to a better explanation, would someone answer on what settings does the cube keep out:1) Magic Items2) Worn Magic Items3) Creatures with magical effects on them, distinct from magic items4) Creatures with nonmagical clothingWhat qualifies as "magic"?Thank you.Cube of Force: This device is about 3/4 inch across and can be made of ivory, bone, or any hard mineral. It enables its possessor to put up a special wall of force 10 feet on a side around her person. This cubic screen moves with the character and is impervious to the attack forms mentioned on the table below. The cube has 36 charges, which are renewed each day. The possessor presses one face of the cube to activate a particular type of screen or to deactivate the device. Each effect costs a certain number of charges to maintain for every minute (or portion of a minute) it is in operation. Also, when an effect is active, the possessor’s speed is limited to the maximum value given on the table.When the cube of force is active, attacks dealing more than 30 points of damage drain 1 charge for every 10 points of damage beyond 30 that they deal. Spells that affect the integrity of the screen also drain extra charges. These spells (given in the list below) cannot be cast into or out of the cube:Cube Face    Charge Cost per Minute    Maximum Speed    Effect1    1    30 ft.    Keeps out gases, wind, etc.2    2    20 ft.    Keeps out nonliving matter3    3    15 ft.    Keeps out living matter4    4    10 ft.    Keeps out magic5    6    10 ft.    Keeps out all thingsAttack form: Horn of Blasting Extra Charges=6Wall of Fire  2,  Passwall     3, Disintegrate 6, Phase Door 5, Prismatic Spray 7</blockquote>
