Subject:	Damaging manipulations AOE vs. Single Target and casting through
Date:	Sat, 21 Feb 1998 03:17:58 +0000

I'm writing this guide I mentioned a while back.

Started writing up a few guidelines on the whole mirror/LOS thing
with spells.

This situation arose, and I want confirmation here.
A damaging manipulation single target spell (flamethrower) starts the
physical energy at the mage and directs it outward. Thus it cannot be
cast around corners by a mirror, right? (Except, possibly, for a
low- force 'light' phsyical component DM.).

But a damaging manipulation Area of Effect spell 'detonates' its
physical component at the target point, not at the mage, and thus it
should be possible to cast it around a corner by using a mirror,
rather than what I've assumed, which is, it can't be.
Is this correct?
