Cube of Force...

[Dwarmaj]

One of the faces keeps out magic. Would it keep out magic weapons or weapons with spells on them?

If you have the wall up that keeps out magic, can you cast spells out of the cube? I'm thinking no for balance reasone, but the only reference for spells not going out of the cube are the spells that are used to bring it down.

One thing you could do is treat "Keeps out magic" as an Antimagic Field. So, no, you wouldn't be able to cast out of it.

Which I would still find odd, since "Keeps out nonliving matter" will basically prevent any creature with equipment and undead from entering the cube at a much lower cost in charges.

Maybe the abilities indicated should include all the "lesser" ones? (e.g. Keeps out magic will keep out living, non living and gases).

Reminds me of when my group read a sage advice on cube of force. We played that the side that says "Keep out all things" kept out all things, then he says no you can teleport into it, etc. So I guess they were using an alternate meaning for "all" in this case.

We play the item literally. If it says it keeps out non-living matter, then a character with clothes and equipment can't get through without losing his clothes and equipment.
