How does Mage's Disjunction and Aroden's Spellbane interact?


Rules Questions


Specifically we're wondering about two things.

1. Spellbane works as an antimagic field, except it only affects the selected spells. Disjunction has a % = CL chance of destroying an antimagic field. Does this mean that a Mage's Disjunction has a chance of destroying a Spellbane effect?

2. Mage's Disjunction reads as follows: "If the antimagic field survives the disjunction, no items within it are disjoined". Let's assume that there are both active magic items and active spells within the Spellbane area, and Disjunction is cast into it. Since the spell description only explains how items would work, Would active spells be disjoined even if the Spellbane survived the disjunction?

I would say yes to Number 1.

As for Number 2, if you have a Spellbane up against Disjunction specifically, and the Disjunction failed to beat it, then all of your spells and items would continue working. Otherwise all spells and items will be disjoined, including Spellbane.

I read that ASB only interferes if MD is noted as a spell it is warding against, otherwise it is business as normal for MD affecting all items and spells within its radius including the ASB.

IF ASB is warded vs MD, then it does so in a form of an anti-magic field specific to that spell. Therefore, ASB wins the day except if it is pierced by the 1% per caster level of the MD. If the anti-magic isn't pierced, ASB wins and no effects to those within the ASB emanation. If ASB was disjoined, full MD effects to the occupants.

At least, thats how I would rule it.
