Abjuration spells clarification


Rules Questions


Quoting the PRD:

PRD wrote:
If an abjuration creates a barrier that keeps certain types of creatures at bay, that barrier cannot be used to push away those creatures. If you force the barrier against such a creature, you feel a discernible pressure against the barrier. If you continue to apply pressure, you end the spell.

So, when is someone forcing the barrier against a creature? Suppose a PC, having a Magic Circle vs Evil cast on him, is trying to move in a 10' wide corridor. At some point of the corridor stands a medium-sized evil-aligned summoned creature. If the PC tries to pass beside said creature will he be considered as "forcing the protection from evil barrier" against it and thereby breaking the spell?

In other words, does the barrier spell collapse whenever the recipient tries to move near a creature he's warded from? (and by near I mean closer than the barrier's range of course)

Grand Lodge

Yes.

Any movement made by the caster that would put the creature inside the area of effect ends the spell.


Ahhhh...that settles it!

Thanks!
