Here is another call on Seth for clarification - especially with the Celestial Celebration just weeks away. Current Understanding (Seth, please clarify if necessary) ... * Basic Circles (one School of Magic) are temporary constructs, as such, they: - Dissipate when a Wave does - Are effected by their opposing School of Magic's Destroy Construct Spells - Prevent beings of their opposing School of Magic or with a Shard of such from passing through 1. How large can a Circle be? Does the radius/diameter/circumference depend on the strength (build) of the caster, how many packages of that particular School of Magic they have, something else? 2. How do Elemental Force (Magic combining 2 Schools, like Radiance is Fire & Life) Circles work? Do they act as a Basic Circle of both opposing Schools of Magic? For instance, using the Radiance example above, would a Radiance Circle prevent Ice (opposite of Fire) & Death (opposite of Life)? 3. How about other Advanced Schools of Magic (Magic that combines 3 Schools, High Magic, etc ...)? Thank You!

Here is another call on Seth for clarification - especially with the Celestial Celebration just weeks away.
Current Understanding (Seth, please clarify if necessary) ...
* Basic Circles (one School of Magic) are temporary constructs, as such, they:
- Dissipate when a Wave does
- Are effected by their opposing School of Magic's Destroy Construct Spells
- Prevent beings of their opposing School of Magic or with a Shard of such from passing through
1. How large can a Circle be? Does the radius/diameter/circumference depend on the strength (build) of the caster, how many packages of that particular School of Magic they have, something else?
** 6' diameter per circle. 2 casters casting a circle = 12' 3 - 18' etc
2. How do Elemental Force (Magic combining 2 Schools, like Radiance is Fire & Life) Circles work? Do they act as a Basic Circle of both opposing Schools of Magic? For instance, using the Radiance example above, would a Radiance Circle prevent Ice (opposite of Fire) & Death (opposite of Life)?
** yep
3. How about other Advanced Schools of Magic (Magic that combines 3 Schools, High Magic, etc ...)?
** still correct save that advanced schools ie nature - prevents corrupted creatures and all creatures not native to gurn. So an advanced magic may stop more than just the elements it is constructed with.
Also to drop a nature circle as an example you would need a destroy nature construct or a destroy ice, destroy life, and destroy stone
Any other questions?
Thank You!

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but I'd appreciate the final word from the "Power That Be". Can magic be cast through a Circle from the inside (i.e., can the Caster throw raw mana or spells through their own Circle - since they can't step out of it to do so)?

While I am not the "powers that be", I would be inclined to say no. Example: In a High Magic circle, I would have to drop the circle, cast my spell, then put the circle up if I wanted to cast something "out" of the circle. Dunno if this helps you at all Binky.

Yeah, that was my ... Sierra wrote:I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but I'd appreciate the final word from the "Power That Be". That's how I thought it worked so that's how I'll keep playing it. Thanks Jeff! :)
