    You were clear on your wording. What I'm saying is that every time I've tested it, breach was completely stopped by immunity:abjuration. It did not remove it, and it did not ignore it.

    The person casting breach won't be affected by the fireshields.

    Huh? Protection from Magic Weapons doesn't affect whether or not breach will work. What I'm saying is that in the unmodded game, liches are not immune to level 5 and lower spells.

    Whenever you install certain mods, they get that immunity. If they have it, you'll cast breach on them and get a "Spell Ineffective" message. The game will not report the spell being successful.

    From the manual:
    How is it's in-game performance contrary to it's description?

    Well, see, that's what my question was. When I read the descriptions for spell shield, warding whip and spellstrike, it sounded more like they canceled each other out. i.e. spell shield would stop spellstrike/spellstrike removes spell shield; warding whip removes spell shield/spell shield prevents warding whip. The end result is still the same -- spell shield disappears.

    Hopefully we're not nit-picking on this since this was originally supposed to be about Breach

    I'm not sure about breach not working without mods. I have too many mods installed to even consider reinstalling and trying :) .

    The description for Khelben's Warding Whip states that it will remove 1 protection per round for 3 rounds and lists Spell Shield as one of them. It gave me the impression that it will take out Spell Shield first and then proceed to take down 2 more spell protections, but that is not the case.

    Spellstrike states that it will remove ALL spell protections, and lists Spell Shield along with others. I thought that it will completely remove all protections, but in my testing it showed that only the spell shield was taken down while the other protections remained.

    Which is how it should be.
