[QUOTE="F5, post: 1069627, member: 4607"] OK, I'll edit my previous extradimansional void hypothesis. The water, when it tries to re-grow, is blasted under unimaginable pressure back into the Elemental Plane of water, where the excess mass goes when it was shrunk in the first place. It leaves behind a vortex which leads into the elemental plane, but since the contents were contained in an UNBREAKABLE sphere, the vortex itself is contained and doesn't expand outside the limits of the sphere. But, exactly how big is the elemental plane of water, in comparison to the prime plane? Since it exists on a different spiritual, spatial and quantum reality to the Prime, can it be said to have any size at all? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin, you could ask? Without a common frame of reference, the size of the elemental plane is not immediately comparble to the size of the prime plane, which is the location of the sphere. So, like Schroedinger's cat, until the unbreakable sphere is broken open and the contents checked, there's the possibility that the inch-thick sphere contains the entire elemental plane of water. You're left with a paradox and some seriously pissed off elementals. Maybe this is how you create a sphere of annhiliation? Now I'm just getting punchy. I'd better get back to work. PS: I'm still the most fond of the injection-molded diamond-ice idea, for what it's worth. PPS: it's lines of reasoning like this that have caused my group to ask me not to play spellcasters whenever possible... [/QUOTE]
