8th Ed. Remains in play spells

[serbianwolf]

I have a question concerning how to these really work:


it says that an remains in play spell can be dispelled whenever you want during the magic fase so is this plausblle:

turn 1 magic phase: slann casts throne of wines, no dispell attempt.

turn 2 magic phase: slann casts earth blood, as a response the enemy dispells wines, and the blood is cast as only a 5+.

question is can throne be dispelled at this time, and is the spell that is in process of casting affected by the dispell?

They need to chose to dispel earthblood first, or let it go through, then chose to dispell Throne. If you were to say you were casting something, and then before you actually rolled they tried to dispel that might be ok. In the 2nd case you wouldn't be forced to actually try to cast the first spell though since you didn't roll any dice.

If throne of vines is dispelled after you cast earthblood it would keep its buffed version of itself.

Do you have a reference point in the rulebook for that. I would like to reference that page if this comes up.

thou rolfgars explenation seems sound, and that's something that would be logical to do, I have not found any refference...

The BRB does cover the casting sequence. Starting on P31 with "Cast" You chose your target+spell, choose # of dice, roll, if not IF a dispell attempt on that spell is allowed, then spell resolution. The next step shows "Next spell".

It doesn't make sense that they would give a casting sequence if they intended it to be broken, and dispelling a remains in play spell in the middle of casting a different spell would be out of that sequence.


I forget where I read about thrones and being dispelled after something buffed was cast, I'll try to find it again.
