[QUOTE="Pyrex, post: 3597390, member: 11600"] My interpretation is as follows. Ghaele casts [i]Shield Other[/i] on the cat. [i]Fireball[/i] assigns 30pts of [Fire] damage to the cat. [i]Shield Other[/i] splits that damage, assigning 15pts of untyped damage to Ghaele. Cat takes 15pts of [Fire] damage and dies. Ghaele takes 15pts of untyped magical damage from the [i]Shield Other[/i] spell already in effect upon his person. The important distinction here is he's taking damage from the [i]Shield Other[/i] spell, not the [i]Fireball[/i] spell Next Example: Toss in a [i]Resist Energy: Fire[/i] Ghaele casts [i]Resist Energy: Fire[/i] on the cat granting it Fire Resistance 30. Ghaele casts [i]Shield Other[/i] on the cat. [i]Maximized Fireball[/i] assigns 60pts of [Fire] damage to the cat. [i]Resist Energy: Fire[/i] reduces that damage to 30pts. [i]Shield Other[/i] splits that damage, assigning 15pts of untyped damage to Ghaele. Cat takes 15pts of [Fire] damage and dies. Ghaele takes 15pts of untyped magical damage from the [i]Shield Other[/i] spell already in effect upon his person. [/QUOTE]
