[QUOTE="Gaiden, post: 2209419, member: 103"] I don't know if this is the correct RAW interpretation but it is how I would adjucate the silent image: Readied silent image of a stone wall to be summoned between you and caster. Mage casts fireball. Technically, the fireball would still go off, as far as I can tell. It would not fizzle, just detonate earlier. Remember that the fireball is initially a small bead that bursts (without an explosive effect) upon impact. Here is the precise part of the spell that I would take into consideration with the illusory wall. The fireball would fly right through causing an interaction to allow the mage a save. If successful, resolve fireball as normal. However, if unsuccessful, I would now rule that the wizard could not see his target. However, the spell is already in effect. So effectively he would be shooting blind. I would make him make a spell check following spot rules for penalties on distance with a 50% miss chance. for every 1 he missed the check by, the fireball would be displaced by 5' in a random direction (roll d8). Again, I doubt this is RAW but makes the most sense to me on how to handle it. Let's instead say the mage was casting lightning bolt. I would do something similar but have each 1 pt missed change the angle by 1 degree. Do what makes sense. If in midcasting a wall suddenly appears, the caster could choose to finish the spell and hope for the best or disrupt the casting himself and lose the spell. In fact this gives me an idea for a feat that gives you the ability to change the specifications of casting of a spell mid-cast. So if a wall was suddenly put up while casting said fireball you could change where you were originally going to launch the bead. [/QUOTE]
