[QUOTE="Saarith, post: 6927016, member: 6849514"] Since you opened this can of worms. Lets place a spellcaster outside a moving wagon and have him cast the Silence spell into the wagon. If we assume the center of the spell follows the wagon it would move the center of the spell from the perspective of the caster. In this case however the observer in the wagon would experience the spell being stationary. On the other hand if the center of the spell remains at the point originally chosen, the spellcaster will observe the center being stationary but the observer in the wagon will experience it moving away from him. So who is right, the spellcaster or observer? Now if a spellcaster is inside a wagon and centers the spell in the wagon the spellcaster and an observer in the wagon would agree that it was stationary, but an observer outside the moving wagon would say that the spell was moving. And what if the magic user casts the spell out of a moving wagon? Will the spell remain stationery at the point he chose, meaning that the magic user will experience it moving ? Or will the spell center be at a specific cartesian coordinate in relation from the spellcaster, resulting in it being stationary for the spellcaster but moving for everyone outside the wagon? What one observes may not be the same as another if they do not share the same speed and direction. This is the essence of the concept of frames of references and is used for simple stuff like Einstein's theory of relativity and from this day to determine where that sneaky silence spell goes.
