[QUOTE="Al'Kelhar, post: 7543554, member: 7884"] The effect of Goodberry is to conjure 10 magical berries. It is not to heal. Each of those berries can be stuck up your enemy's nose, if you want. The spell itself does no healing whatsoever. (Yes, I know there's some Sage Advice out there to the contrary, but I value Sage Advice about as much as I value dietary advice from my teenage sons). The effect of Rope Trick is to create a small extradimensional space with an entrance from this dimension some way up in the air with a rope hanging out of it. It is not to heal. You can leave the Rope Trick hanging in the air, use the rope to climb up to the window of your beloved, or take your beloved into the extradimensional space for a bit of quality time. The spell itself does no healing whatsoever. The effect of a Conjure [insert monster type] spell is to conjure a [monster type]. If used to conjure a [monster type] that is then used to attack your enemies, it is not an attack spell. If the attack the [monster type] makes is fire (e.g. it's a fire elemental), it is not a fire spell. If it used to conjure a [monster type] that can heal you, it is not a healing spell. If it is used to conjure a [monster type] that can answer questions for you it is not a divination spell. The effect of a Create Water spell is to conjure some water. The effect of the spell is not to slake your thirst, or to extinguish a fire, or humiliate the arrogant nobleman into whose lap you dump the water. They are simply outcomes of your chosen application of the effect of the spell. And so on. People seem to confuse what a spell can be used for (either with or without some element of creativity) with the actual effect of the spell as written. Cheers, Al'Kelhar [/QUOTE]
