Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cedric" data-source="post: 3165295" data-attributes="member: 2044">The effect of feeblemind is permanent. The spell energy that creates the effect is instantaneous. This is true of most instantaneous spells. Spell energy comes and goes...consequences long-lasting (in this case, permanent until one of 4 spells is used). The effect is permanent ONLY because the spell energy remains and sustains the effect. If I created an "instantaneous" 5th level spell transmutation that hacked your left pinky finger off...it's GONE! There is no residual magic (in this case) that is keeping your pinky finger missing, it's just cut off, hacked off, sliced off, gone...just as if I'd used a meat cleaver, only I used a spell. Break Enchantment should not be able to grow back your left pinky finger. Because nothing in the text for Break Enchantment indicates that it can grow back severed body parts. Now...if I created a "permanent" 5th level transmutation that made your left pinky finger magically disappear...you could get rid of that transmutation with Break Enchantment and your finger would suddenly reappear. Now, before you say it, I realize that break enchantment says that it can defeat 5th level instantaneous transmutations...but regardless. If I used the instantaneous version of the finger hacking spell, it won't work. Your left pinky finger isn't magically suppressed, it's laying on the table in front of, having just been cut off (by my spell). It's as cut off as if I used my belt knife on it.  Until you cast a spell that restores missing limbs or fingers, your finger isn't growing back. Break Enchantment won't make your finger grow back.</blockquote>
