A mage creates a swarm of mosquitoes who go and drain a victim dry, then has the mosquitoes perch on the bottom of his blood cauldron until the spell duration expires. When the mosquitoes vanish, what happens to the blood? Does it just drop wherever the mosquitoes expired, or does it vanish with the mosquitoes?
I would hope that food eaten by magical creatures disappears along with the creatures. Otherwise you'll have QUITE a mess when your magical team of oxen - whom you have been feeding for a few days while they pulled your caravan - disappears, leaving behind everything you've fed them in every stage of digestion. On the other hand, anything shed by the creature is no longer part of that creature. If the sheep disappears, you can still keep the sweater you made from its wool. Likewise the plant you grew with fertilizer from that sheep's waste. Once it's eaten by a creature, it is part of the creature. Unless, of course, some other spell is used to separate the blood from the mosquitos. I'm still not sure, at that point, whether it could magically be considered blood from your original source, rather than food expelled from your mosquito. -- JL Hatlen Linnell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
