[QUOTE="OurManMute, post: 1702661, member: 7196"] Er, yes. :heh: But I make it a practice not to let mere facts prevent me from making a joke. Now I'm thinking, though... Monks would probably do quantum qith path integrals (the whole "it's the journey that matters, not the destination" thing), but what about divine spelcasters? I think you have to be careful here: actually casting a spell on a target causes inteference between the spell and the target, with possible entanglement as a result. In my example with the fireball the interference would mean that both the amount of damage of the fireball and the saving probability of the target are messed up, and it's anyone's guess what will happen. In some cases the subsequent entanglement will make quantum teleportation possible, albeit for a very short period of time; in such a case the target is winked away to a far off location, and reappears a fraction of a second later.
