Casting Disjunction while IN an antimagic field? [Archive] - Wizards Community

05-23-04, 02:41 AM How would this work? The wording of anti-magic field seems to be that it supress's effects within it... but disjunction is an instantaneous effect that has a chance to disjoin the antimagic field...

So the real question is, does it supress the casting itself, or just the spell/effect? If so, could this be a valid way to escape an antimagic field prison (as a level 20 sorceror with disjunction) ?

Thanks in advance,

05-23-04, 02:45 AM While within the bounds of Antimagic Field, no magic works. You can't cast spells. You can cast Mordenkainen's Disjunction at the field from outside its boundaries, and remove it pretty easily, but if you're inside the field, no magic works, which means you can't bring about the magic that nullifies other magic in the first place.
