[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 4771148, member: 2525"] I saw this Customer Service ruling on the topic of "movement" vs. "entering". See below for why I was interested*. Here is the ruling: As the OP of this topic pointed out, this ruling does not fit to the Dragon Magazine R&D article on Wall of Fire, which speas of "move into", too, but does specify that forced movement triggers the damage. So, according to this ruling, Storm Pillar, Wall of Fire and Storm Cage do not instantly damage enemies that are forced into them. Cloud of Daggers, Freezing Cloud, Stinking Cloud, Cloud Kill and Acid Storm still do. I look forward to the promised FAQ on this topic. *[SIZE="1"]I was interested because Storm Pillar, a new wizard at-will specified in Arcane Power, seemed like a pretty good new power that would let me push foes into it's damaging area with a thunderwave, or pull them into that deadly lightening-striking area with a hypnotic pattern or Visions of Avarice spell (both also from Arcane Power). Alas, that does not seem to be the case, and while the at-will is still good for certain control/blocking situations, it has significantly less utility if forced movement does not trigger the damage from Storm Pillar.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
