    A spell that protects you from transmutation does not protect you from heat.

    Otherwise your temperature would be that of the absolute zero.

    No, lasers burn stuff (really fast) which isn't classified as transmutation, by the way wouldn't transmutation be a mutation? (I've heard the X-gene been mentioned as a transmutation)

    That aside; The lasers aren't magical thus spells to protect you against a kind of magic shouldn't work against them

    Don't tell me lasers capable of cutting directly through "9 feet of adamantine" in a few second can't surpass that meagre "120 points of damage".

    The power of the laser would still be stronger even if they where given time to research a way to combine the spells. There's also a high probability that the ships have some sort of anti-magic defences, besides the lasers can keep on firing but the mages can't remake the spell that quick (since the spell takes at least 6 seconds to cast then it should be stronger than six seconds of laser fire, which I highly doubt)

    And you haven't won yet

    @Megadoomer: That's so petty. You're like Randomizer, always saying your characters a more powerful than everybody else and will challenge everyone who says something to the contrary by adding them additional powers.

    Unless the lasers fire at the speed of light (probably, considering that a laser is just condensed light and whatnot) it would be easy to dodge seeing as it goes in a mostly strait line.

    All lasers do move at the speed of light. You can't see them before they hit you.

    Got me terminology wrong. So the lasers concentrated on each sphere, and ignited the occupants?

    It's "Protection from Energy (Fire)", by the way.
    And lasers do non-elemental damage according to the DMG, so you're out of luck there.

    The ships aren't supposed to be fighted by the PCs, all you need is heavy weapons (like the Citadel) like in real life and he himself blew up their best weaponry.

    Actually, several weapons in Star Wars are canonically lasers, not blasters. But as they operate by the same visual effects, so either the galaxy far, far away has different physical laws, or the so called "lasers" are merely blasters with the plasma excited by an internal laser.

    Here's my rationale:

    The lasers are made of energetic light.
    The shields are transparent.

    Therefore, the shields are allowing light to pass through them.

    Since light passes through the shields (Albeit slightly reduced because they aren't fully transparent) the lasers can pass through them as well.

    Depending on how they actually make you invisible (Ie. only if they make you 100% transparent), yes.
