A is the correct one, will reword. The vortex nullifies the spell but NO
damage is caused.

Omission no doubt, these weapons do nothing to shields a shielded target is
immune to this weapon (as well as the D-cannon) when shields are
operational.

This is correct and will reword as you suggest. The force dome functions
like an enhanced shield, so D-cannosn/warp hunters could not effect it, but
the wave serpent if it scores a hit after it is shot then it comes down.
