[QUOTE="mvincent, post: 3624644, member: 27034"] From the 3.5 FAQ (if desired): [I][SIZE=1]"[B]When I affix a dispel magic to my hallow spell, what type of dispel effect is it—a targeted dispel, area dispel, or counterspell? Can I choose when I create the hallow?[/B] A dispel magic fixed to a hallow or unhallow spell may be treated only as an area dispel, not as a targeted dispel or a counterspell. [B]When a spell effect is fixed to a hallow spell, how do unusual durations (such as those of protection from energy) or instantaneous durations (such as those of dispel magic) work?[/B] The spell effect fixed to a hallow or unhallow spell is treated as being cast on any eligible creature each time it enters. In the case of “ablative” spell effects that are used up gradually (such as aid or protection from energy), the full effect of the spell is renewed each time the eligible creature re-enters the hallowed/unhallowed area (with the newer version entirely replacing the older version). In the case of instantaneous effects (such as dispel magic), the spell affects eligible creatures each time they enter." [B]If a spell that targets a creature (such as cause fear) is tied to the area of an unhallow spell, does it target creatures inside the area every round, or only when they enter the area?[/B] A spell tied to unhallow picks its targets only when they enter the area, not every round they remain within. In the case of cause fear, each creature entering the area with fewer than 6 Hit Dice would be required to attempt a will save against the effect, but once within the area would not be required to save against the effect again. If a creature left the area and returned later, the spell would be effectively “cast” again, targeting that creature once again. Spells that don’t have targets (such as invisibility purge) simply apply their effects continuously within the area of the unhallow spell. A character who turned invisible after entering an unhallowed area with invisibility purge tied to the area would be rendered instantly visible by the purging effect.[/SIZE][/I] [/QUOTE]
