For comparison, a typical parachute slows the user to around 17 mph.This one (<a href="http://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1231475371" target="_blank">http://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1231475371</a>), with air resistance, puts it right around 30 feet.Exactly! There is nothing at all in the spell description about the sphere damaging the things it stops. The whole point is stopping things.Okay, the ground has nothing to do with the deceleration. Why does the sphere stop again?You have this asinine insistence that your explanation of how physics interact with magic is based on physics, while other people's is based on magic, and therefore yours is correct and theirs is not.Such as it causing damage to the things it stops? Go for it if you like.Glad to see you get pissier the less defensible your position becomes.</blockquote>
