Technically the statement isn't needed as [18.4] says, "When purely magical energy is involved, any damage is subtracted first from Fatigue (Endurance only when Fatigue is exhausted), but is not absorbed by armor. Other damage types, also subtracted from Fatigue, are absorbed by armor." But I've seen the question come up many times and it seemed like a good idea to include it in the spell description. Just missed putting it under Diamond Javelins.Phergushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029828649840210384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652670152568310161.post-74876675851382014202016-11-15T15:56:02.296-07:002016-11-15T15:56:02.296-07:00re: Fly spell

I don't see them as "elemental" spells. I left the summoning/controlling to the Natural Magics college and Lesser Summoning of course. Note that Fire Magics doesn't have an equivalent set of spells and in my not completed rewrite of Water Magics I took them away as well.Phergushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029828649840210384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652670152568310161.post-63372691343389401842016-11-15T11:53:24.418-07:002016-11-15T11:53:24.418-07:00Also like adding the clarification that armor shou...Also like adding the clarification that armor should be taken into account on the Ice Javelins spell.

You can fall a really long way in the 5 seconds it takes to prepare a spell (far more than it would take to kill a humanoid on a relatively unyielding surface). Lol, here is a splat calculator:<br />https://www.angio.net/personal/climb/speed.html<br /><br />Any particular reason why you chose to remove summon/control avian spells?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376126237743428044noreply@blogger.com
