[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 286167, member: 177"] Isn't it fun to pick and choose which definition of a word is most convenient in interpreting rules? However, even if you can pick and choose on "solid", alone, there's another word in there that makes it difficult - "anchor". To "anchor" something means to hold it fast against the forces exerted upon it. You cannot anchor to an object that is lightweight, or easily moved, as those things would not hold anything in place. Sorry, KarinsDad, but when two definitions of a word are possible choices, one is supposed to look at the context in which the word is used in order to make a reasonable choice. Given the context, your choice is not reasonable. [Edit: Oh, one other thing - if you want to play with definitions - a "point" (in the mathematical sense- having zero dimensions) cannot be "solid" (in the mathematical sense - having three dimensions) Since a "solid point" is a contradition, the spell disappears in a puff of logic. So, please start being reasonable!] [/QUOTE]
