[QUOTE="Jimlock, post: 5706600, member: 6674931"] IMO, your reasoning is sound. I agree. I agree. Now this is where I have an objection... well not entirely but... Keeping in mind the three points you made in the beginning of your post, we assume that a normal caster CANNOT cast spells when standing within an AMF. Therefore, IoM grants the ability to cast spells when standing within an AMF. Now for me, the: [COLOR="Olive"]If the check is successful, your spell functions [B]normally[/B].[/COLOR] has two possible meanings: 1) The spell functions normally as if there never was an AMF to suppress it/affect it. 2) The spell functions "normally", as in: it is cast (without the feat that wouldn't be possible) and the AMF affect it normally. A spell's "normal" behavior is to be suppressed while in the AMF. For example you can cast Owl's Wisdom (while without the feat you couldn't) but the effect remains suppressed while in the AMF. Another example would be, to stand in the AMF and cast Flame Strike in an area outside the AMF (something that would not have been possible without the feat). Personally I "prefer" #2. Not because it makes more sense than #1... actually... I admit that #1 is more clear of an answer and perhaps what the writers intended... but because I believe that, balance wise, this unbelievably broken power granted by this Feat (which also grants other stuff as well!... as if this wasn't enough!) is somewhat checked. Again, I admit that #1 is more clear, but I'd prefer to interpret it the other way so as to keep this ability "low". [/QUOTE]
