These rules appear to allow the use Sonic Disruption/1030, and Vibration Chant/1002.
(Note that the latter is supposed not to destroy magical weapons/shields, merely render them non-function [i.e. not provide their AS/DS/other defenses].)

Is this correct?

I'll have to check into this, but will get back on this as soon as possible. And it's good to see you're still around!

Late Jan/early Feb I had a little situation at the office that needed my attention for a couple of weeks. (Right around the time the ELR blew up on the Wizard category.)

So I'm playing catch-up reading all the 40-70 post Topics first, and dipping my toe into the 100-500 post Topics when everyone else is gone.

I hate it when work interferes with my GemStone time! <flail!>

Boy, I can sure relate to that! I can't understand why work just doesn't understand priorities! Good luck catching up..

Helden has not put restrictions on Vibration Chant/1002 after checking to ensure that no player's magical items would be destroyed. Worst effect was it just gives RT to the defender now. It's been used many times in previous arena bouts. Sonic Disruption is allowed, but only in a focused attack. No area spells are allowed. Hope that clarifies.
