stop the effect, will it? Or would it block an area
combat spell's effect, but not a damaging manipulation
one's?

other side can be affected (provided there is LOS, for
combat spells) but with a reduced Power Level.

So you're saying that an astral barrier, because it
stops magic on an astral level, will block the area
effect of a combat spell (even a physical one?), which
I can see, AND that of a damaging manipulation - which
as I understand it is a purely physical thing -
because they're both the consequence of a spell?
I can certainly see stopping the combat spell, but the
DM, as I said, seems to be purely physical ONCE IT HAS
GONE OFF - otherwise armour couldn't help against it,
could it? So upon reflection, I'd say that the astral
barrier could stop the spell getting to its
destination, no matter what kind it is, but if it gets
through and goes off, it would only block the effect
of a combat spell, not a DM.
That would be my interpretation - unless you can
convince me otherwise. :)
Oh, and I'd also go with the spell fizzling out unless
it reaches its designated target theorem. Makes sense
to me.
Steve K., what's your interpretation on the matter?
