Hi everyone!
I have a question about the Wall of Ectoplasm spell.
The description says:
A section of the wall whose hit points drop to 0 is breached, but if a section is destroyed, the remaining ectoplasm in the wall immediately fills in any such hole created, reducing the wall’s overall size by one 10-foot square but remaining a contiguous barrier. The wall can also take the form of a sphere or hemisphere whose maximum radius is 1 foot per caster level, and that is as hard to break through as the ectoplasmic plane form.
My question is, what happens when a section of a spherical or hemispherical Wall of Ectoplasm is breached? Does the radius decrease to allow the wall to "remain a contiguous barrier"? Or does a hole form, say, from the top down? If the radius does decrease, what happens to things inside?
If it is a circular wall and a section is destroyed you would fill it in from the top first by removing a 10ft section from the top. If the circular wall is already the minimum 10ft tall then you can;
1. choose a section from somewhere else in the wall to fill that space in. Since it's a circle you can "fill in" from elsewhere in the circle by having the break in your wall come from the other side to replace what was just destroyed.
2. leave that space empty.
It will no longer be a complete circle and will now function as a semi-spherical wall. Should another section get destroyed then you must choose either side of the break to disappear and fill in the destroyed section so that the wall remains contiguous.
