WotC webpage has annotations

[Alzrius]

In WotC's new "Magic Items of the Sky" page, there's something interesting that I hadn't noticed before.

The cloud cloak, gauntlet of the vortex, and rod of vapor control all have the name of the school of magic they radiate annotated. Clicking on that pulls up a small window that explains what that school is about.

While the Evocation and Transmutation explanations seems fairly simple, the Abjuration explanation reads as follows:

Abjurations are protective spells. They create physical or magical barriers, negate magical or physical abilities, harm trespassers, or even banish the subject of the spell to another plane of existence. If one abjuration spell is active within 10 feet of another for 24 hours or more, the magical fields interfere with each other and create barely visible energy fluctuations. The DC to find such spells with the Search skill drops by 4. If an abjuration creates a barrier that keeps certain types of creatures at bay, that barrier cannot be used to push away those creatures. If you force the barrier against such a creature, you feel a discernible pressure against the barrier. If you continue to apply pressure, you end the spell.

It says the source there is the PHB, but I don't recall the bit aout them causing fluctuations when within 10 feet of each other.

I like the annotations though, and hope WotC does more of this on their site from now on.

PHB 172 - it's the text that is there.

Cheers!

Yeah, to my knowledge the WotC site has done this since they added the glossary.

Neat stuff.
