How many friends can you touch with a touch spell in a round.  Page 175 says that you can touch as many willing targets as you can reach as part of the casting, but all targets of the spell must be touched in the same round that you finish casting the spell.  On page 141 under holding the charge it says that you can touch one friend as a standard action and 6 friends as a full round action.  So, which is it?2. This never came up before in my old group, but can you cast an area of effect spell with a smaller area?  For example, can I cast a fireball with a 10ft radius spread instead of 20ft?  I would rule no as it isn't marked as shapable, but I just want to make sure.  3. I don't understand how line spell with an area designation of line work now.  For example, lightning bolt has a range of 120ft and an area of 120ft line.  Does that mean that this spells range and area are bascially the same?  Or does it mean that a lightning bolt has to go out to 120ft?  I also don't understand what the diagram on page 176 represents.  Why is there a target intersection behind the first orc?  I thought a line-shaped spell starts from a corner of your square and goes out until it's range.  Thanks for any help in advance,Nick</blockquote>
