-Since the time between the spell's [[Spellcasting|discharge]] and the actual striking of the stones is two seconds or less, it's understood that the meteors are magically conjured some 30 to 60 ft. above their targets.  Thus it stands to reason that the spell cannot be cast except in the outdoors, where meteors may conceivably fall.
+Due to the short interval between the spell's [[Spellcasting|discharge]] and the stones striking their targets, the meteors are magically summoned approximately 30 to 60 feet above their intended targets. Consequently, this spell can must be cast in '''outdoor settings''' where the possibility of meteoric impact exists.
-There is no saving throw for the damage done, and the effect happens too rapidly to allow most creatures to seek shelter or attempt to interpose their shields.  However, those persons wearing [[Ring Mail|ring mail]] or better metal [[Armour List|armours]] subtract 1 point of damage from each meteor that hits.
+There's no saving throw against the damage, and the speed of the effect makes it nearly impossible for most creatures to seek shelter or use shields in defense. However, individuals wearing [[Ring Mail|ring mail]] or superior metal [[Armour List|armours]] reduce the damage by 1 point of damage for each meteor that hits.
-Once striking, the meteors shatter and disappear, leaving no evidence of their existence.
+Once the meteors strike, they shatter and vanish, leaving no trace.
