Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
What I was thinking: The caster starts the air moving at his location, which is clear of dust when he starts. Energy is expended putting the air into motion. A moment later, the air he started moving has moved on, and impacts the dust. However, when the air hits the dust, Arthur isn't pushing on it directly anymore; he's pushing on the air that is now at his location, which is still clear of dust and so moves. In moving, it bumps into the air that Arthur had previously set moving, which is carrying the dust. Again, the air in contact with the dust isn't directly under the influence of magic; magic is used to set things in motion, but the energy transfer to the air "infected" with the dust is done through mundane physics.
Think of a stationary fan (the spell) blowing on a balloon (the dust) which is on the other side of the room; the fan blades (the spell) never come in contact with the balloon - only the air the fan sets in motion touches the balloon. If the balloon is coated with something caustic, the fan remains unaffected by it.
The powder is still good; it just has to catch someone by surprise.

The stuff would also be a lot harder to get rid of if directly applied to/dumped on a magician.
Is anyone going to carry on the torch tonight, or are we waiting for tomorrow (later today) to resolve this?

Narf's got a spot reserved at the moment.
Narf, are you planning on editing that, or should I post after it?

Didn't know if he was merely commenting or preparing a post.

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
Yes, I know - that's why I asked. And it appears that Narf isn't responding; that makes for three likely possibilities of what's up:
1) He's done for the night
2) He's momentarily busy with something else
3) He's busy editing that post right now
Unfortunately, we won't know unless either:
A: Narf tells us (works for 2 and 3, but not for 1 until tomorrow).
B: Narf finishes editing that post (works for 3 only).
We can guess at 1 if he remains silent for a while, but we can't be certain.
