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!"

yes, I allow individual hexes to be dismiss.

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.

This is how I see it:

The shadow, wall or fire is a magical creation that exists strictly because the wizard made it and is still tied to it because he may recast it from beyond creation spell range. Since he is able to extend its existence he should be able to end it.

The fire, wall, shadows do last 12 turns if the wizard should die.

I would be fine playing with a GM that did this either way. As long as done consistently.

I concur.Since he is able to extend its existence he should be able to end it.

It is also worth noting that Destroy Creation spell removes 1 hex of a creation spell, like Fire, regardless of the original size.

Given the above, I will stick with allowing wizards to dismiss any of the fire/walls/shadow hexes they created without dismissing the whole thing.

This thread gives some interesting takes on the creation spells. We were always fine with dismissal before the 12 turns expire. I don't think anyone ever wanted to do a partial dismissal. Our dismissals were for each casting. I guess that I would allow partial dismissals too.
