01-14-08, 02:17 AM The text of AMF says "Two or more antimagic fields sharing any of the same space have no effect on each other."

I am curious as to whether this means they block each other's effects, or pass through each other unaffected. I am wondering whether a Wizard with Archmage levels and Mastery of Shaping could fashion a 5 ft. cube in an AMF he casts, then walk into another AMF or dead magic zone and still cast spells. Anyone run into this?

01-14-08, 07:09 AM Related question: do all Conjuration (Creation) spells work through an AMF, as long as they "originate" from outside it? I know Melf's Acid Arrow and the Orb series do...but what about spells like Acid Breath (a cone)?

01-14-08, 07:40 AM I'm not sure on the Conj. but I think it would. As for your orginal question, the AMF's just overlap each other and continue to function normally.

Having no effect on each other means having no effect on each other. The point is that an AMF never "blocks" another AMF.

01-15-08, 12:43 PM actually since it's AEO the biggest caster level one would dispel the other one. But if the center of either of them isn't in the area on the other they would be both standing since the spell is considered being the center of the circle. the area would just overlap each other and in the square that both are in effect the biggest one will prevail.
