What about non projectile single target spells? For instance a prison of fire type spell which aims at one target. Or something like incinerate?

How does the game know the spell is a projectile?

Re: Arrow Fend
 

It's not quite as simple as "not AoE"

100 precision spells (or effects - mind blast) aren't blocked.

Are lightning bolts?

Re: Arrow Fend
 

Lightning bolt, many alterations, mind butn and similar spells have a 'hit' flag, meaning it always hits a target if there is one in the square.

Projected spells rarely have this tag (lightning being a good example of an exception, since it finds a body to use as a conductor).

Not sure if air shield blocks magical projectiles. It might, but this thread leads me to believe otherwise.

Well, that explains one of the mysterious spell flags http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Thanks, KO.

Re: Arrow Fend
 

that was really good thinking, i never would have designed it that way, so my lightning bolts would suck.
