#3 Coolossus2123 Jul 27, 2015 18:15:21	So youre agreeing that yes, the point of origin is whats limited by the range, not the effects? I'm led to believe this from the line of pg. 203 saying "Once a spell is cast, its effects aren't limited by its range, unless the spells description says otherwise". I feel like this references area of effect spells specifically (if im missing something there, please correct me). So take a spell with a sphere shape for instance, Antimagic Field. The point of origin is the caster, and it specifies that a 10-foot-radius invisible sphere surrounds them. So in that case the effects are limited by the range in the description. However the spell "Daylight" states that a 60-foot-radius sphere of light spreads out from a point you choose within range (the range listed for the spell is 60ft). So if you were to choose the point of origin at 60 feet, the sphere that spreads out from that point isnt limited?
