Effect: When this spell is CAST, a sheet of strong, flexible ice is created.

The wall is primarily defensive, stopping pursuers and the like.
The wall is one inch thick per level of experience of the magic-user. It covers a 1" square area per level,
    i.e. a 10th level magic-user would cause a wall of ice up to 10" long and 1" high, or 5" long and 2" high, and so forth.
Any creature breaking through the ice will suffer 2 HP of damage per inch of thickness of the wall,
    fire-using creatures will suffer 3 HP, cold-using creatures only 1 HP when breaking through.
If this spell is cast to form a horizontal sheet to fall upon opponents,
    it has the same effect as an ice storm's (q.v.) hail stones in the AREA over which it falls.
Magical fires such as fireballs && fiery dragon breath will melt a wall of ice in 1 round,
though they will cause a great cloud of steamy fog which will last 1 turn,
but normal fires or lesser magical ones will not hasten its melting.

MC: The material component of this spell is a small piece of quartz or similar rock crystal.

Effect.UW: A wall of ice can be formed underwater,
but it will immediately float to the surface and bob about like an ice floe.

Gary. What wall spells are supposed to be affected by magic resistance?
Ie, if i cast a wall of iron over a drow, would the drow get squished, or would his MR kick in>
What about rock to mud under their feet???
 


Ciao!

As a matter of fact I did not allow a wall spell to be cast save if there was some surface the bottom edge it could rest upon.

If you allow them to be cast into the blue, then MR will not affect one in falling, as it is not a spell.
MR does not affect blosw from magic wea[ons, eh?
The same goes for rock turned to mud.

Cheers,
Gary
