Message: <blockquote data-quote="Switchback" data-source="post: 4335787" data-attributes="member: 69793">Grasping Shadows confuses me somewhat on how to adjudicate those squares after the initial hit. I haven't ran my Wizard yet so maybe this is an obvious AOE answer but maybe someone can help.Is each square of the box in Grasping Shadows treated separately for purpose of enemies moving around in them after the 1st round. For instance, other AOE spells do continuing damage for those inside on their turn or count as difficult terrain or whatever, but this one doesn't. However, what happens in the 2nd round if a character that was hit in the first continues to walk through the Grasping Shadows instead of leaving the area in one move? Can that enemy just walk freely around the affected squares after that first turn? What if he ends his turn only having moved one step within the shadows, would he then be subject to the slowing again on the 3rd turn? What about a enemy that was missed on the initial cast, if he starts to move within the Shadows squares, is he considered to be 'entering' them for the first  time since he was never hit? Some of the answers that present themselves would seem counter-intuitive if the effect of the AOE is only on the initial cast for those inside. I.e. You could have a goblin lets say start out in the top half of the effect, walk right through the rest of it on his turn to get out, and then on the same turn back into the effect again and he would suddenly be considered to be 'entering' it again and suffer damage and slowing even though he was able to leave it just fine on the first half of his move? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
