[QUOTE="FrankTrollman, post: 1160550, member: 14225"] Because Polymorph subsequently lists additional restrictions. If they didn't - then you'd be good to go with transforming people into Solars and such. PAO does [i]not[/i] have any such restrictions, and you [i]are[/i] good to go on that. That's not a "special" implication rule - that's how English works. If there is a sentence that said "Sarah said we have to give the chocolate back to her." then "her" can only refer to Sarah or another female previously discussed within that reference frame. That's how pronouns work - they can only imply something already discussed - not something else entirely. So in PAO, where it says "another" it has to be refering to a "creature or object" previously discussed. That previously discussed "creature or object" is "any creature or nonmagical object up to 100 cubic feet/level." If your native language isn't English, this might seem like a pretty difficult concept - but this is how the English Language works. Both naturally and legally. When there is a sentence with an implied object,that's exactly how it works in English. The book is written in English - there is nothing more to discuss. -Frank [/QUOTE]
