[QUOTE="Croesus, post: 7219529, member: 35019"] When asking questions about a specific spell, I find it's always useful to include the full spell description (if it's in the basic rules). [B]Globe of Invulnerability[/B] 6th-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self (10-foot radius) Components: V, S, M (a glass or crystal bead that shatters when the spell ends) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute An immobile, faintly shimmering barrier springs into existence in a 10-foot radius around you and remains for the duration. Any spell of 5th level or lower cast from outside the barrier can’t affect creatures or objects within it, even if the spell is cast using a higher level spell slot. Such a spell can target creatures and objects within the barrier, but the spell has no effect on them. Similarly, the area within the barrier is excluded from the areas affected by such spells. [B]At Higher Levels.[/B] When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the barrier blocks spells of one level higher for each slot level above 6th. As can be seen in the description, the spell only affects spells based on [U]where they are cast[/U]. A caster just outside the [I]globe[/I] casts [I]fireball[/I], the [I]globe[/I] blocks out the spell effect. A caster inside the [I]globe[/I] casts [I]fireball[/I], the [I]globe[/I] has no effect. Of course, the caster could move outside the [I]globe[/I] (since it's immobile), cast [I]fireball[/I] (and be affected), then move back inside the [I]globe[/I]. That might be an interesting tactic for a caster immune to a specific element... edit: One other thought. I don't believe a caster could use his familiar to deliver a touch spell through the [I]globe[/I]. The caster is still outside the [I]globe[/I], so the spell can't affect anyone within it, even if the familiar then enters the [I]globe[/I]. Similarly, a caster who casts [I]vampiric touch[/I] outside the globe could not then enter the [I]globe[/I] and use that spell on someone within the [I]globe[/I]. Hmm, this could get very confusing... [/QUOTE]
