Bagpuss said:It's the same if you cast silence on a pebble then put the pebble in a purse. It loses line of effect to anything else. I suppose technically it has line off effect to the target stuck with the arrow as it is touching him, but I would logically expect it would need a line of effect to the source of the sound. And if enclosed then the an emanation doesn't go beyond the enclosure.
But the enclosure is the caster, here. If it's in his flesh, I find it odd to suggest that he's automatically able to ignore it - after all, it's touching him.
If you want to argue that any amount of flesh can block an emanation off, then silence can never work, since it doesn't go through skin to hit vocal cords and lungs.
To affect you, does an emanation have to engulf you, does it have to engulf your organs, or does it just need to include the square that you're in?
