[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8944947, member: 23751"] I very much disagree with this. If I hold my hands close together, there is a space between those two things. They aren't broken, but you can in fact have space between two separate things. And yes, while it is a broken off piece from the original, they are also in fact two separate things with a space between them. They are now a hilt and a blade, not a dagger. Because synonyms are not the word, they are only similar, yet different words. None of them need to imply separated in two. Further, some of them do imply or can mean separated into different pieces. 1. Interval 2. Gap 3. Discontinuation 4. Discontinuity 5. Lacuna A break can be an interruption of continuity or uniformity. 1. Space 2. Gap 3. Split And those are synonyms of break that all have definitions that involve being in more than one piece. And a mending spell could fix it. :P You keep coming back to fingers, but you're comparing apples and oranges, because in D&D magic treats both differently. D&D is not the real world where if I lose a finger there's no priest at the local church that can cast regeneration for a fee. Yes words matter and break and it's synonyms can mean broken in two(or more) pieces. That includes mending, not Mending. Nothing on those pages prevents the Mending spell from working. D&D is very much an exception based system. You can't do something until you get some ability that allows it, or you can do something until something prevents it. The sections you are referencing are purely mundane in nature. They do not cover magic. It's a spell or ability(hard time remembering now) called Mending and it says that the only difference between it and the PHB Mending spell is that it can only work on ceramic and glass. Since the Dragon Magazine mending can put pieces back together and the ONLY difference between spells is what kind of objects it works on, the PHB version must also put pieces back together.
