Was there any answer to the Timing part of the original questions?

I think the focus on Acedemy and Battlegrounds were business mistakes. It lost a lot of momentum wrt committed players. More energy and money should have been spent on new mages, and rapidly expanding the player base with events and tournaments.

Thematically, you just have to adjust how large the Forcefield is in your mind, I suppose. A skin tight Forcefield that exists underneath the clothes would certainly justify the effects.

Haha! But I guess then, thematically, could the quantum field generator actually be calibrated well enough for such instantaneous field perturbations without gravity collapsing hyperspace around the mage?

Yes, Forcefield can affect attacks from incantations and even unavoidable attacks. I feel it should be noted that not all Defenses have the Defense Icon. For example: [mwcard=MW1E02]Block.[/mwcard] However, these cards clearly state that they are a Defense, and you are correct that Forcefield does not count as one.

Ok thanks! A buddy and me were wondering about this because _thematically_ it made sense to us that the combustion/explode attack originates 'inside' the forcefield (afterall incantations in general penetrate forcefields, and burn tokens or exploding armour are right on the mage), but _technically_ the words used on the forcefield card 'cancel' the incantation's attack.

You can still use block on attacks made by incantations, such as combustion and explode. However, those are both unavoidable attacks, meaning that block actually gets destroyed without effect when they are cast. Block would work just fine on Burst of Thorns however.

Does forcefield 'cancel' a combustion (or explode) attack? I thought forcefield was able to 'cancel' even unavoidable attacks (like ring of fire) because technically forcefield isn't a defence (as it's missing a defence icon).
