Hello paizo's community,
I'm a new player and I have my share of questions regarding the game.
I wanted to know how magical are potions and scrolls.
When I read the Antimagic Field spell description I admit that I don't fully understand everything.
A magically enchanted sword will be considered as a normal master sword but a golem will still be surnaturally animated. This is due, as far as I understand, to the fact that it can still "be" without a permanent link to magic.
Logics points out it is the same idea for summon spell : the effect that summoned a creature OR gave life to a golem is from long gone. Whereas a magic sword of fire is a sword with a constant spell that produce fire with a triggered condition. (Or so I think?)
But what about a potion?
A potion is a magical item and as such, should be fully suppressed in an AMF.
But a potion is an alchimist creation, and the process has stop at the moment the potion has been crafted. Then a potion is no different from a golem, right? It exists even without a constant link to magic since the potion isn't triggered by a spell but triggered a spell on its own.
This way, wouldn't the potion works fine, but the spell casted put on hold? If I drink a +4Str potion, I would get the buff when I leave the AMF?
And if yes, what would happen if the potion's spell isn't suppressed by the AMF, such as a prismatic wall (don't ask me how I could cast this spell on a potion)?
Finally, regarding scrolls, they seems to be a bit more borderline since I can't really see how they work, if the spell is "written" on it, wouldn't I be able to read it and cast my spell in an AMF or would the spell just "disappear" for as long as I am in the AMF?
Thanks for any answer!
