It is RAW.From your post (and the RC):'function' means to work or operate. You can legally cast a spell within an anti-magic field yet the casting does not work since the activation of the spell is a function of the spell itself. Think of it this way, a car has the function of transportation. Yet, it also has a function of starting. If I cast an anti-ignition field on your car, the function of the car's starting would be suppressed. If you pushed the car out of my field, it would not automatically start because the instantaneous function of it starting was suppressed and no longer exists. You could, of course, restart it (e.g. recast).However, let us presume that you can cast within the field. However, none of the functions of the spell work. Since none of the functions work, you cannot have a point of origin since it is a function of the spell. Duration, however, is specifically exempted.Finally, from the glossary entry for <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/glossary&term=Glossary_dnd_pointoforigin&alpha=P" target="_blank">point of origin</a>This does not ignore the fact that a spell can have two points of origin: where the spell begins and where the caster wishes the magical effect to begin. Since a spell always begins where a caster casts it, then the initial point of origin of the spell is "entirely suppressed."The problem with the WOTC article is, well, the WOTC articles. They are old and contradictory and, from my experience, often just plain wrong. Note, for example, it says an AMF blocks LOE, but the RC says otherwise. I sometimes think they cause more harm than good and should either be deleted or labeled with a big "May no longer be applicable" sign.</blockquote>
