I found that last night, matter of fact. I eat those words. So a barrier
only affects the spell, it isn't opaque. (That friend of mine is going to

That would be your interpretation, but I disagree. There's nothing in any
of the books to suggest that Personal spells cannot be mobile (in

In fact, the only thing suggesting your ideas so far has been opinion.
