Hello all, just back with another couple of questions, one which sort of came up in our last session and one which may come up in future ones both related to the same thing.
How does magic persist through polymorph and similar type effects?
For example, if you Charmed your Henchman Wolves, and then used Polymorph Other to turn them into Tigers (cute way of improving animal henches), are the Tigers still Charmed in this case? Although it doesn't really matter in this specific instance, as they're still henches who are animals, but does charm persist in these cases?
Second example, do spells such as Mirror Image persist through polymorph? How about spells like Giant's Strength? Are you required to use buff and defensive type spells after using polymorph, or does the magic persist through?
An additional question, what happens with aura type spells when you grow larger sizes? Does it radiate out from where your body is, or is it a fixed 'point'?
What happens when you grow larger when covered by an Anti-magic shell? Does the shell increase it's size to cover you, or do you simply go through the shell, lose the magic to it and shrink? Or do you find yourself unable to go through the shell, leading to a rather gruesome death?

The anti-magic shell spell description is actually pretty clear about this: The shell has a fixed radius of 10 feet, meaning that the size of the caster has no effect on the size of the shell.
Any spell effect that attempts to pass through a shell is dispelled as if by dispel magic; Effects that can't be dispelled by dispel magic are unaffected by the shell and can pass through unharmed. As a result, a mage who grows through his own shell via a dispellable effect (e.g.: most spells) will immediately revert to normal size, while a mage who grows through a non-dispellable effect (e.g: when a cloud giant mage's shrinking spell wears off) will gcontinue to grow through it without a problem.
