Why would flying units be immune to oblivion?

[Troy_Costisick]

Presumably because they could fly over the hole this spell makes.

[kilobug]

Should units with death immunity be allowed to go through too ?

I envision this as looking like an Oblivion gate. Nothing can pass through, and frankly, I think it'd be cool if it had a random chance of striking anyone in a (small, 1-2 square) radius for lightning damage.

Precisely this. Fliers don't care about the ground being gone.

The lightning thing sounds cool to me too, if people like it.

I was looking at this as a glob of "oblivion" that basically hovered in mid-air; not something that sits on the ground. That would be a good reason for flyers to be affected too. Sure, you could _theoretically_ fly over it, but that would bring a whole different dimension to the battle board. (See what I did there?)

OK, but I agree with WyldeRhide that if oblivion had enveloped the tile, then anything flying into it would fly into oblivion as well.
"Create Void" would be the harmless version, IMO.

A nasty bit of active oblivion works for me.

Or "Bottomless Pit"
