One character (a convert from D&D :) is playing a half dragon (ie.
Magical creature) He's got wings and a 42 ST. The Goddess was protecting
herself with an Utter Wall spell cast at a skill of 30. The Dragonman
decided to Flying Tackle (literally) the Goddess. When he hit the Utter
Wall he was strong enough to break through it.

Hmm, now that I am looking through MY Grimoire it says that Utter Wall
is a combo of a Force Wall and SPELL WALL. When we had looked it up last
Friday I could have sworn it said Force Wall and Pentagram? Has this
ever been the case? Was there a version of Grimoire where Utter Wall was
a Force Wall/Pentagram combo and not a Force Wall/Spell Wall combo?

Damn, I'd hate it if that Goddess died cause I read the spell wrong . .
. :(

LOL, I actually have one player with Magery 10. His skills actually
aren't as high as you'd think though (low 20's).
