Hot water

--- Quote ---Actually I think the hot water problem is similar to Harry disrupting guns. Basically a mistake by Jim.

Instead of again arguing against this... again, i'll instead point out in a vid from the recent Dragoncon Jim is quoted as saying something to the effect of "Does the plot exist to farther the magical set up or does the way it's set up drive the plot?" His answer was both. An farther point out despite having one of the richer magical set ups I've ever read, He's actually stayed rather tight lipped on the subject beyond his two or three standardized replies.
Coincidence? Id bet pretty much anything the answer on that one :) but believe what you will, it makes what follows even better...
*face palm* I just got the scarecrows jab at Harry about "or what follows" lmao.

I'm sure it wouldn't be relevant to the story, but I'm sure there must be some meteorological or astronomical limit to the circle's height. Otherwise, every circle is basically an anti-magic ray that shoots out to the edge of the material universe.
Not that that wouldn't be awesome, but I would expect an anti-magic ray with an infinite range to be a bit harder to build...

I'd say there is an effective range that is just beyond anything that is needed. There for if you had a demon who could jump 7.1 miles, it would extend to 7.2 miles, and so on.
It IS magic, after all.

Ima have to look for an old, old woj on this... Basically the diameter is defined by the will of the wizard making it, So it does have an upper limit, and it's possible to make it more of a sphere, also offhand Woj about if a wizard were crazy enough they could ground out a circle using a shield as it's root, if you were crazy enough to believe that were possible(yes, this will absolutely come into play in the DF, even if we don't see it directly:) )

Ground out a Circle? As it de-power it? How is that different than just breaking the circle?
