Default Re: remote spells on sieged province

In testing, if a third party casts an assassination spell like Seeking Arrow at an army besieging a castle containing a defending army, the arrow strikes a random person from either side.

And what will happen, if the caster is A or if the caster is B? Will it be the same as when the caster is a third nation or not?
If the caster belongs to either the attacking or the defending nation, then the spells in question always strike the opposing force, never your side. The exception: Spells that create a special monster attack, like Ghost Riders or Send Horror, always strike the person outside of the castle, regardless of which side he is on or who cast it.

Quote:
And how the domes affect the casting? What is nation B mage residing in the sieged fortress casts a spell on the same province, will it be stopped by the domes existing on that province?
If an attacker or defender casts a spell originating from the same province that domes are in, then the spell is never stopped: Domes only affect spells that originate from outside of the province. Normally, the attacker cannot cast spells while besieging a defender, because he has no lab, but certain items allow the casting of spells without a lab: These spells will function normally against the province with the dome if cast while inside the province itself.

Examples:
Province protected by dome. Defender in besieged castle casts seeking arrow at attacking army: Seeking arrow functions normally and strikes enemy army.

Province protected by dome. Defender in different province casts seeking arrow at attacking army: Seeking arrow may be stopped by domes.
