Do overlapping elements affect a bespelling attempt?
No. Overlaps only count for close combat, although this is only implied in the rules rather than stated outright. Bespelling and shooting both have their own separate overlap rules, involving additional bespellers and shooters respectively. Interpenetration Is there a maximum number of elements that can be interpenetrated or overflown? No. However, and element making a voluntary move cannot exceed its move distance, so if it wants to interpenetrate or fly over another element and cannot clear it with ts movement, then it cannot do so. An element recoiling can interpenetrate as many elements as it needs to until it finds a clear space, or reaches something it cannot pass through or over, in which case it is destroyed.
