Diameter, so it would still reach 3 ft. into those corner squares.  Besides, you just said that once they swing a weapon into the AMF, it turns off the magic, so even if the fighter gets some of the bonuses from equipment, his weapon won't be magic.  Also, why do we give the fighter the advantage of attacking from a corner,  when 8 out of 12 spaces around the caster will be within the AMF?  If he is in combat with someone, I  think it makes sense that he would be facing them while fighting.  Actually, he would probably be flying (horizontally) over them, making it nearly impossible to swing at him without a 10 ft. reach.In any case, if this is a problem, just use a rod of enlarge spell to fix it.It can be, but it also works well for offense.The fireball wouldn't hurt him because AMF blocks line of effect.  I used to think otherwise, since they haven't put it in the 3.5 FAQ, and it is in the old one, but all about magic on the wizards site covers this point.</blockquote>
