[QUOTE="dead, post: 1549139, member: 18707"] [b]A Riddle for Ye[/b] When you cast a spell with Material Components, those components are consumed. I imagine this would be a magical process. So, if you cast a spell inside an antimagic field -- which you can do according to WotC, it's just that it is "suspended" -- then do the components vanish? If they do, then why is this so? Their consumption -- whether they turn to dust, glow and crumble, or simply vanish -- is surely a magical process. If they don't, then the spell would not go off. This would contradict WotC's ruling that you can cast a spell in an antimagic field (except that it's effect will be supressed and, if it has a duration, then than duration comes into effect at the moment of casting). When you leave the antimagic field, a spell with a duration still active will wink into effect with the remainder of the duration. Can someone help me on this one?
