Talk:Sanctuary

Throwing Potion also end Sanctuary since you technically "damage" the potion bottle

As the subject description

Spells effective against Sanctuary

I just tried using Blight against an enemy under Sanctuary and it worked, note that Sanctuary was still active after the attack. Thorn Whip and Phantasmal Killer were also verified HotGithGF (talk) 00:53, 21 April 2025 (CEST)

Yep! It looks like those three spells you mentioned are missing the IsHarmful spell flag so Sanctuary does not stop them from being targeted.

The reverse is not true though. A creature protected by sanctuary will still break the effect when casting these spells (since dealing damage is another criteria for breaking sanctuary). NtCarlson (talk) 01:06, 21 April 2025 (CEST)

After looking into this a little more, I produced a list of these sorts of damaging, single target spells which can bypass sanctuary. NtCarlson (talk) 01:22, 21 April 2025 (CEST)

Good one, now the "needs verification" not only can be removed and the number of spells that bypass Sanctuary can be updated. HotGithGF (talk) 02:30, 21 April 2025 (CEST)
