[QUOTE="gvbezoff, post: 690734, member: 2554"] An exceptionally good reply, Hypersmurf. Exactly on the mark. Just like Magic Missile, for example, Horrid Wilting is a targetted spell with multiple targets within a limited area. Since it is targetted, the targets must be seen (or tremorsensed or blindsighted or whatever), and the spell can be turned back upon the caster by Spell Turning. Now, here is an interesting question. Suppose a wizard casts Magic Missile and targets each of five different targets with one missile. I think it is clear that, should all those targets have Spell Turning active, all five missiles are turned back upon the caster. Suppose instead a 18th level wizard casts Horrid Wilting five targets, all of whom have Spell Turning acitve. Does the casting wizard get hit with 90 dice of damage (18 x 5) or just 18. The kindly part of me says just the 18, but the evil part deep within me wants to say 90. Greg [/QUOTE]
