AmberSoler, I'll second Kamikaze's point that the sphere only prevents casting spells entirely, unlike the Cloak of Negation, because (for example) if you use the "ban" sphere and carry "Cursed Armor," magic will still work, as everyone knows.

Your example only confirms my position - the Cloak of Negation prevents the casting of the Misfortune spell, which is included in the Cursed Armor. This is a third-level spell. Meanwhile, the Sphere allows all spells to function.

That's all I'm trying to say - the Cloak and the Sphere are essentially the same artifacts, only with different ranges. But the Cloak prevents all manifestations of magic within its influence, while the Sphere only prevents casting... which is what causes complaints.

If you use the Sphere of Vulnerability, it doesn't matter who uses it - will it remove the monsters' immunity to these "mines" during a castle siege, i.e., will the monsters from the castle garrison be able to step on these mines without taking any damage when the Sphere of Vulnerability is used?

They will. The Sphere of Vulnerability does not remove their immunity to their own mines.
