[QUOTE="ryan92084, post: 6777051, member: 6802559"] So its largely agreed ( I think arial is the lone dissenter) that [LIST=1] [*]the attacks are sequential [*]each ray can push (including out of range of the subsequent rays) [*]dispell magic can't target spell itself just the effects of the spell [*]the original question has been answered [/LIST] The only avenue of discussion left seems to be whether you can ready an action for between the rays or not. While I don't think there is a RAW answer (as trigger is defined mainly by examples) the twitter RAI is yet to be firmly established therefore its still worth a bit of discussion. Personally I wouldn't allow a reaction to individual rays mainly because that isn't how mage slayer functions. If a feat largely based around a character trained to take advantage of a caster's distraction can't get a reaction between rays I wouldn't allow any one else to either. As a secondary point the rule book is silent on rules about the caster being attacked/pushed out of sight mid spell resolve which I take to mean that it isn't an intended possibility. Readying an action to a spell for me means after the effects not before or between (outside of actions that specifically call out other timing). Obviously this is just my personal ruling and other DMs are free under the current RAW to go a different route without even having to invoke rule 0. [/QUOTE]
