Fantasy Trip Wizard dismissing spell?

While I'm not able to clarify rules like this, I really like the idea that a Wizard can create something that he or should could possibly regret doing and not be able to undo it. Seems like it could potentially lead to more interesting situations.

There is nothing to clarify--the rules are explicit that wizard can create certain things that last for 12 turns, regardles of how inconvenient they might become in that time: Fire, Wall, and Shadow.

I'm not arguing with you. I'm merely commenting on how I like how this rule can play out. Sorry if this out of line.

Not out of line at all. I hope you didn't find my comment gruff--I was trying to be supportive!

If you do allow dismissal, does this cover partial dismissal?
"Leave these two edge hexes of my 3-hex fire and dismiss the middle hex!"

While casting, I believe that the multi-hex creations are required to be connected hexes. Now, if you are taking about dismissing hexes of a creation cast in a previous turn, I may need to be convinced. I have been treating it as all or nothing. If a 3-hex fire or wall is cast, the same creation is dismissed. I have no problem with them being deactivated prior to 12 turns. I guess that I can't get my mind off of the the consecutive hex requirement when cast and then carry it through as such.
