[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 6777180, member: 16814"] The argument is that EB is the spell, and the beams are parts of the spell, but they cannot represent the spell as a whole. IE, each beam isn't EB, EB is all of the beams. So, if I hit you with a beam, I've hit you with EB. If I hit you with multiple beams, I've still hit you with EB. The flag for 'hit with EB' only raises once, no matter how many beam hits there are, because the beams are not EB, just parts of it. Given the wording doesn't have language that tallies the number of part hits, or has any gradations, the effect only applies once per hit target per EB. Now, you don't have to agree with that, but that's the argument. As you can see, you can't reduce that argument into the absurdity of 'once per day or ever', as it remains consistent about individual castings of EB. So that's why you latter two questions don't apply. [/QUOTE]
