DESCRIPTION

You create an invisible wall of pure force that cannot move and is not easily destroyed. You can form the wall into a flat, vertical plane whose area is up to one 10-foot square per level. The wall must be continuous and unbroken when formed. If its surface is broken by any object or creature, the spell fails.

• It is immune to dispel magic, although a mage’s disjunction can still dispel it.
• It can be damaged by spells as normal, except for disintegrate, which automatically destroys it.
• It can be damaged by weapons and supernatural abilities, but has hardness 30 and a number of hit points equal to 20 per caster level. Contact with a sphere of annihilation or rod of cancellation instantly destroys it.
• Breath weapons and spells cannot pass through it in either direction, although dimension door, teleport, and similar effects can bypass the barrier.
• It blocks ethereal creatures as well as material ones (though ethereal creatures can usually circumvent the wall by going around it, through material floors and ceilings).
• Gaze attacks can operate through it.
• It can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
