Am I to understand that a GMC Banshee flying into a magical barrier will be
affected by it? I thought that a physical object could go through a magical
barrier, for example, several buildings (hotels for instance) have barriers
"surrounding" them but this doesn't stop PCs from entering the building. Now,
if a PC was in astral then he couldn't enter but if he was in the physical, he
could.
How does a magical barrier affect a flying object?
