This spell is hilarious, and it sounds quite useful, too. I can actually envision it being used; it seems really useful for saving people from being bull-rushed off cliffs, and it's also a great impromptu trap detection system. (The best part about that latter bit is that it only helps in trap detection; a rogue's still necessary to get rid of the trap, so they still have something to do.)

Now that I think about it, this is also a very good counter to VFX Split and other attacks whose entire shtick is death from above.

Overall, this spell is just superbly designed. I know I hand out favor ratings a little too easily (I like to think positive), but this article really deserves it. Well-done!

I love spells which have a utility that makes sense why they would make it and use it in the world. As always your writing amuses me to no end. Can this spell be affected by Permanency? It seems the sort. Anyway, great job.


Duration and Permanency

1 minute per level is a very short duration for being OSHA-compliant. It means you need to be at least level 15 to do a full 15-minute workday.

Also, Permanency needs you to say what the XP cost is, and should probably not be permanently wasted forever when committing a violent act. --Foxwarrior (talk) 03:45, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Permanency costs 500 XP per level of the spell, always. So I don't really see why that needs to be explained in depth. I see your point, though. 10 minutes per level may be better. --Sulacu (talk) 08:12, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
I think Permanency also needs you to say what its minimum caster level is. --Luigifan18 (talk) 13:53, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Given the workday requirements, I think this spell should last for exactly 15 minutes. No more, no less. Surgo (talk) 15:24, 18 April 2017 (MDT)

Mislabeled

This seems like an abjuration, not an evocation. --Luigifan18 (talk) 13:49, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

It detects things, and makes objects out of force. Think of it like a wall of force in safety rail and safety helmet form. That makes it a dual-school Divination/Evocation spell in my book. --Sulacu (talk) 01:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

April fools?

I was wondering, isn't this supposed to be an April_Fools? --HiddenKnowledge (talk) 13:48, 17 April 2017 (MDT)
