Loss of Line of Effect = Spell Ended?


Rules Questions


Scenario 1:
A wizard casts summon monster 5.
An enemy cleric casts wall of force interposing a wall between the summoned monster and the wizard. This blocks line of effect, so my question is whether or not this would cause the summoned monster to wink out of existence.

Scenario 2:
the wizard casts summon monster 5 then casts emergency force sphere which now interposes a wall of force blocking line of effect between the wizard and his summoned monster. Does the summoned monster remain or does it wink out?


Line of effect is only required at casting time.

You must have a clear line of effect to any target that you cast a spell on or to any space in which you wish to create an effect. You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast.

There is no requirement that you keep line of effect thereafter; you can send your summons around the corner and it won't wink out.
