[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 8451937, member: 42856"] Force damage does not affect the target. It's a magic effect directed at the representation of the target in the strand of fate. It leaves no mark, no burn, no pain. It just leaves less of your being linked to reality. Magic missiles severs the weakest strands but a full desintegrate simply leaves nothing of you in the Great Pattern. Unable to interact with the world that's a reflection of this pattern into the elemental chaos that are reality's material building block, you end up less than a ghost. Teleportation accident doesn't hurt you, it's simply because you used a spell to rewrite your fate strands at another place and the structural integrity of the pattern is damaged as there can be no way for you logically be at the exact same place as the Moonglow Mountain. The strands of Fate of the moutain are eroded as well as yours, but it has been there for a much longer time than you. Maybe a dragon could teleport into a moutain and erase it out? Force damage affects incorporeal being because they, too, are real and part of the pattern. The shield spell protects from magic missiles because it weave a new strand with the quality "I am hard to hit" that's why it stacks easily with armor... and this quality also apply to the missiles striking you. Same with a wall of force. It's not a wall, its a cut in the Great Pattern. You can't move through it because there is a physical empty space but it no longer correspond to any coordinates in the pattern for your being to be. You'll have to walk around it. [/QUOTE]
