Question about disjunction

[Shinizak]

While I was looking through the Phb, I saw that the spell M's Disjunction is actually an area affect, not a ray affect. So why is it depicted as a ray instead of an area? Did the giant could change the nature of the spell area or did he make some sort of mistake?

Rays look cooler

Rule of Cool, Artistic License. Take your pick.

(Destruction (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0369.html) isn't a ray either. He just does that sometimes.)

[Shinizak]

Okay, I can accept that. :smalltongue:

(those words are uttered too few and far between on this board)

Alternatively, Jepthon the Archmage might have had that high arcana that allows you to change it into a ray.

[Finwe]

Or, it was an AoE, but only the "trail" of the spell was visible.

[Green and Red]

Alternatively, Jepthon the Archmage might have had that high arcana that allows you to change it into a ray.

Jephton himself says that disjunction was haertas spell, implying he dosnt even know it himself, in comic 652.

Edit: On second thought we cant rule out that haerta didnt have archmage-levels, or that the two splices could combine abilities in some form, but these sound rather unlikely

It's reasonable to assume that, like the bead that flies to the center of a fireball spell, the track of the spell from V's finger to it's start is visible, in what appears to be a ray.

Oh, I thought this was about logic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_disjunction).
