A wall of force spell creates an invisible barrier in the locale desired by the caster, up to the spell's range.

The wall of force will not move and is totally unaffected by any other spells, including dispel magic, save a disintegrate spell, which will immediately destroy it.

Likewise, the wall of force is not affected by blows, missiles, cold, heat, electricity, or any similar things. Spells or breath weapons will not pass through it in either direction.

The magic-user can, if desired, shape the wall to a hemispherical or spherical shape with an area equal to his or her ability, maximum of 20 square feet per level of experience.

The material component for this spell is a pinch of powdered diamond.

A rod of cancellation or a sphere of annihilation will bring down the wall of force, the former being used fully in the process, and the latter drawing any and all small objects into its vortex in the process. (Small objects are those weighing less than 100 g.p. and within 1" radius of the sphere.)

The diamond dust for the spell must be the equivalent of stone(s) of not less than 10,000 g.p. value.

Polyhedron #4, Dispel Confusion: Q: "If a wall of force is cast down a corridor, waist-high, at a group of approaching orcs, what will happen? Will they be sliced in half?" A: No. "Wall" spells are designed for specified purposes, included in their descriptions. Some give damages; some do not, and should NOT be modified to do so. Specifically, wall of fire and wall of ice mention damage, but wall of force and wall of stone do not. Note that wall of iron does mention that "it will fall and crush any creature beneath it," but this is (obviously) vague; the DM should apply good sense to any unusual circumstances. . . . As to the results of the situation given in the question, the orcs will be displaced (no saving throw); either shoved back, or down, or even up, wherever there is room for them. If they can only be moved into solid matter, then the wall will be displaced; in NO case will they take any damage from the wall or the displacement process.
