[QUOTE="reanjr, post: 2966119, member: 20740"] "Any creature passing through the wall..." - I could see this applying to objects passing through the wall as well (thrown through, for example). "...so that it appears where creatures are..." - The spirit of this is to allow a single blade barrier attack on the target before they get a chance to move out of the way. Unattended objects cannot move out of the way, so I would say the blade barrier cannot be called to be in the area of objects but can affect objects moving in later. A literal reading will tell you the blade barrier only affects creatures and not objects. A spirited reading, in my opinion, would still indicate that you can't set it up to take out a castle wall, but it could be erected in front of a wagon to cut it off (hehe, cut if off, get it?). A logical reading (based on physics and science and stuff) would allow you to do any of these things. Applying logic to spells usually leads one down the road to damnation, though. My personal thought is to allow it to appear in front of a wagon, but not on top of the wagon. Whether the spell fizzles, automatically alters target, or simply doesn't work in the offending area, I'd use the latter. [/QUOTE]
