[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 7923240, member: 6855114"] There is a spell that does block all spells. This is prismatic wall. The prismatic wall loses power as you destroy its layers. Each layers offers a protection from certain type of spells. The indigo protection prevents spells from being cast through the wall. The orange layers prevents magical ranged attack. This spell is supposedly much more powerful than wall of force but the interpretation where the wall of prevents spells from being cast into it makes the wall of force much more powerful than a 9th level spell. This interpretation does not hold the line if you compare what the two spells can do.. A fire ball would not pass the wall of force, magic missile would be blocked as well. But charm person, blight, cloudkill, a summoned elemental, a sacred flame and any other related spells would pass. The wall prevents anything from passing through it. It does not prevent things to appear inside of it! The only spell that does that is a 9th level spell and it is prismatic wall. Prismatic wall will allow a melee to come to the caster yes. But the risks are high and it is entirely possible that the enemy trying to pass will die. And nothing prevents the caster to cast a thunderwave forcing the perpetrator to start again... There is a difference between line of sight, clear path, and points of origin. For creation spell, the point of origin the area you have chosen. Some effects will radiate from that point. Spell descriptions really matters. [/QUOTE]
