[QUOTE="fba827, post: 903968, member: 807"] Well, my interpretation would be that: I think of it as a cloud of glitter dispersing at the time of casting. Therefore, all creatures in the area at the time of casting are affected. (And that the reference for duration is how long the glitter continues to sparkle on those it has already covered and for how long the blindness would last). If you later move out of the area, you still have the glitter on you. If you move into the area after its been cast, you do not have the glitter on you since the initial dust spreading has passed. -- Having said that, I know someone who disagrees with me on it and thinks of it differently. The visual he has in his mind is that the glitter continues to swirl around for the entire duration of the spell. Thus, if you enter the area after it's been cast, you still get covered. I tend not to go with that theory because of the way it's worded regarding how the blindness lasts for the duration and also the fact that it makes no mention of what happens when creatures enter / leave .... I know it is not hard core evidence, but the pattern has generally been that spells that have effects that may change as people enter / leave that it is generally stated.. just my two cents. others may disagree. :) [/QUOTE]
