So your saying that it only affected ' "man" made' structures and living Elf Ships and Troll Lead Zepplins were unaffected. Or was it a 'racial' ban affecting humans and similar beings?  

I would assume that waertagi (as they were around then) were affected as they are 'similar' to humans, or were pure weartagi not? Maybe they were not affected.  

Or else Zzabur widened the 'races' of the spell as some Waetagi diplomat had got on wrong side of Zzabur (wet one of his fav pre-darkage carpets or something) prior to him starting the spell hundreds of years earlier.  

Structures are probably not the best ban, as the Justelan empire would have created an 'flying' route between it and Seshnela. It must have been a broad racial 'ban'. Birds, elves and trolls being unaffected

I thought that the Closing only affected boats/ships though by a variety of means. Wizardry seems to be a remarkably precise form of magic. There are numerous spells from the earlist times which simply do not work because all the targets of Slay (That Enemy) are all dead.
