Right. It begs the question of what exactly a magical attack is. Is an enchanted weapon that affects creatures susceptible to magical weapons considered a magical attack?

And I was going to say creation spells don't target beings but Rope spell does. So, I would also apply the DX -4 if trying to put Rope on a flier within range.

Regarding the penalty on the Rope spell, on what basis do you make that determination? It seems more than a little arbitrary to say that Thrown spells receive no penalty against a flying target yet impose one on Creation spells for which no penalty is ever mentioned in the rules. Do you then also make wizards cast Rope on a 4d roll if the target is defending or dodging?
