[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 4153844, member: 1656"] You keep repeating that, without acknowledging the original caveat moritheil included: [i]What happens if I cast a shatter on the weapon in an antimagic field ([b]via Initiate of Mystra or an artifact[/b])?[/i] His hypothetical already includes an understanding that [i]ordinarily[/i], a Shatter spell cannot function in an AMF, but that under certain conditions, that restriction can be sidestepped. For example, the text states "[i]Certain spells, such as wall of force, prismatic sphere, and prismatic wall, remain unaffected by antimagic field (see the individual spell descriptions). [b]Artifacts and deities are unaffected by mortal magic such as this.[/b][/i]" So moritheil posits an artifact that can destroy one nonmagical object it touches, as the Shatter spell. The artifact is unaffected by mortal magic such as an AMF, so its Shatter effect still functions in an AMF... and in the AMF, the +5 Vorpal sword is one nonmagical object. He suggests a caster with the Initiate of Mystra feat from Player's Guide to Faerun, which gives a caster a Spellcraft check in order to successfully cast a spell in an AMF. Ordinarily, a Shatter cannot take effect inside an AMF. But he's suggesting out-of-the-ordinary situations. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
