[QUOTE="daemonslye, post: 1424027, member: 6309"] OK - So we agree you can cast personal, touch or other ranged spells - so long as the "target" is "you" or other object on your possession or "point in space" near you - but not "out of" the melded area (eg. the solid piece of stone where you reside); For Example: 1. Bulls Strength cast on you by you will work; Range: Touch; 2. Lightning Bolt will _not_ work unless cast on you; Line of effect past you does not exist; And stone "reflects" the LB (?) 3. Chaos Hammer a "multicolored explosion of leaping, ricocheting energy"/burst (or Circle of Death), does *not* affect others (other than you) because the "line of effect" is broken (similar to a fireball not going through unbroken walls); 4. Death Ward would work - if cast on you (Range: touch); 5. Dimension Door or Teleport would work - on you only; 6. Ethereal Jaunt would work - but would immediately end your "meld with stone" spell as would any other similar (ie. blink) spell 7. Forbiddence or certain scrying spells which require "sprinkling" material components or extended use of large amounts of material components (or "creation effects" such as Heroes Feast) would not work (good catch!); 8. Minor or Major 'Globe would work (and "shunt" you out of the stone - 5d6 damage - ouch) 9. "Cloud" Spells or other "spreads/emanations" would not work (while the "center" was in the stone); 10. Assuming you can "see" creatures through "clairvoyance" or similar, you cannot cast "at" them due to "line of effect" limitations for most spells; see below (incl. magic missile or phantasmal killer); 11. Spirtual Weapon could be cast but not "directed" until you are our of the stone 12. Summon spells would not work due to "line of effect" - see below 13. Symbol spells could only be scribed onto surface in your possession; PHB p.176 [/QUOTE]
