I had an argument with a player about the game mechanics of manipulation
spells like "turn to stone" or the spells "turn to
liquid/energy/furniture"
from NAGEE. One argument was that if a vital organ such as the heart or the
lung ceases to exist, the subject of the spell dies after the spell is
released.
The counter-argument was that the aura of the subject is untouched, it still
says "this is a healthy man with a working heart". So if the spell is
released the "physical component" of the being "asks" the aura what
form it
should take.
Any ideas?
Or a plausible explanation why spells like that simply don't work?
