Message: <blockquote data-quote="Artoomis" data-source="post: 3163720" data-attributes="member: 111">First,  a literal reading does not necessarily restrict the spell list that can overcome Feebglmind.  It is just as literal to read that list as the list of spells that are noted as actually being able to overcome Feeblmind - a permsissive list that is not necessarily all-inclusive.Second, a literal reading of Break Enchament shows that it can reverse Feeblemind - an instaneous fifth level enchantment.Third, "reverse" is a unique word relative to spell effects (other than revsing effects to thy go back to the caster).  A literal reading of reverse is intersting - there are many defintions.  Some relevant ones are:To revoke or annul.  (as in "reverse a lower court decision")To change to the opposite.  (as in "reversed a planned course of action")The opposite or contrary.  As in "All along we thought Sue was older than Bill, but just the reverse was true.")Reversed (turned backward) in order or nature or effect [syn: inverse]Turning in the opposite direction [syn: reversion, reversal, turnabout, turnaround]If the effects of "Feeblemind" are reversed, then perhaps the it makes no difference what is written in the spell description because the effects cannot exist, thus no restriction on what will end the effects exists either.</blockquote>
