Passing through a Wall of Fire / Ice

[Malfus]

Do you take the damage only once if you pass through multiple times?

How about multiple times in the same move action?

Would, say, a wax golem be healed for every time it passed through a breached wall of ice?

Wall of Fire and Wall of Ice (frigid air) deal damage to "any creature passing through it" and "Any creature stepping through it" respectively. If you pass or step through it multiple times, I don't see why it wouldn't deal damage each time.

If a wax golem is healed by cold damage, then I think so.

The damage applies each time your character moves from one side of the barrier to the other, regardless of how recently or how often your character has done it before. (Drawing a wall of fire as a series of Us or Ws running down a corridor can make that corridor really unappealing to enemies.)

Then I have just found the fastest way to heal my army of clones to full!!

Wall of Fire is not Shapeable (S), it's a sheet or a ring.

Dang, my tables have been using the spell wrong. I wonder if it was ever as flexible as I've seen it used in previous editions (creating spirals, etc.) or if we just never sat down & looked carefully at the spell effect. Either's possible.
