Lyxen
Great Old One
I rule that it has no floor. It's a dome. In order for a hemisphere to have a bottom, the hemisphere would need to be solid and obviously that's not the case. Then again, I don't allow any attacks to go out of the sphere of any sort because I think that's the intent of the spell: it's a safe haven not an impenetrable fortress for a wizard and as many archers as they can fit.
Yes, spells don't go out, but missiles can as they are objects inside the dome when it is cast, unfortunately.
It's useful, it's not miraculously good for a low level ritual.
Indeed, and as written, it's not too bad I think, except maybe for the missile fire.
