>>> if a magus changed air into a toxinous gas, Parma magica would not help some one in the gas? <<< The effect couldn't cross the parma (assuming it is resisted). Thus as the magus draws air into his lungs, the Muto effect ceases to operate on the air and it reverts to normal. Therefore the magus is not harmed. The same principle applies to poisons drunk or eaten. >>>Magus sinks to water, so wouldn't he take damage from the gas too, it is a same level of interaction? <<< No. This is a completely different situation. The water is not damaging the magus, the magus is merely suffering for the mundane consequence of not being able to breathe. This is an incidental effect. If a magical wall blocked access to a well and the magus was dying of thirst, Parma would not *protect* him either. Regards - David W
