[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2305743, member: 19675"] Depends on my mood and how well the player justified their intended use of the spell. Usually, the glaze is part of what makes the pottery pottery. The paper was paper before anyone wrote on it. The ink is a subsequent addition to the paper- not integral to its "paperness," "paperosity," or "papertude." ;) But, assuming you rule that "document" is different from "paper," what is to stop the player from targeting the paper and not the document? Its actually important: If you can't distinguish between them, then you can't use mending to repair a vase if some vandal etched "Killraven Was Here" on it. Conceptually, its no different from writing on parchment- and believe me, there are vases with words intentionally etched upon them. Damage is in the heart of the vandal, in a sense. [/QUOTE]
