04-26-05, 07:41 AM Since it is a supernatural ability, why doesn't it go down? For example, who ever has the initiative would take down the other ray for that round.

If two anti-magic fields cross, nothing happens.

If two beholders try to use it, the one who fires first will effectively prevent the other from being able to fire.

If the source of an anti-magic field is magical (like a magic item) then it will cease to function if it is brought within an AMF. If the source is a duration-based spell effect, then it will continue to function.
