Question on Dense Nimbus for BW

Post by IJBall »

Quoting the description of the Dense Nimbus spell, we get:
Dense Nimbus (cost: 300 GP)
Creates a bubble of dense, high-pressure air around the caster which prevents most projectiles from striking the caster. The effectiveness of the spell is 40% projectile deflection at casting level 1, with 10% more protection for each additional casting level. The duration is 20 rounds per casting level. Note: Dense Nimbus works only when the source of the projectile is greater than one space away. It does not prevent damage from melee weapons, point-blank shots, or magickal projectiles (emphasis mine).
Despite the description that Dense Nimbus won't stop "magickal projectiles", casting Dense Nimbus does actually protect against the projectiles from Blue Nidaria.

Is this a 'bug' or an 'exploit'? - Shouldn't Dense Nimbus not protect my Mage from the Nidaria's projectiles? Or is the description of the Dense Nimbus spell from the game above in error?

TIA for clearing this up...
