Alright...
Tyrrin and Onerio got a couple more things to discuss, but that can be done via PM/spoilers if absolutely needed.
Ehos will leave Jaiye at her room, unless invited in. He's being a little overcautious about her space needs. I imagine Jaiye will probably just drag him in.
Midori's back in her room, wondering what to do with her tattered clothing...
I'm ready to switch days.

I have detect magic and analyze dewomer at will with no penalty so its really just constant. And it might bother him but "Look at, like, all the groovy colors, Maaaaan."

Its the difference between lava lamp (groovy) and the sun (blinding)

I was thinking more like the screens your computer makes when you play a CD in it. With all the patterns and stuff.

What about me? I see magic withen 200ft, and I derive sustenance from the magic in the air, it's why I have no mouth, would you say I am nonetheless blinded?

Like they look cool and stuff but get kinda boring and then start to hurt a little. Especially if its dark in the room. They don't get boring and hurt if you're really into though like Tyb is. I picture him using the lace to take screenshots and then like painting it and framing it. Like "This is what the cafeteria looks like on Tuesday afternoon." Even though its like all colors and abstract stuff with outlines of people. He sees real things that's just the artistic representation.

Tedisan-
This makes sense for those who don't live with the effect all the time, but those who do develop adaptations. In addition, only things of overwhelming aura could do that, and even then, it takes an incredibly high tier artifact. Overall, yes, I think that is should hamper most using these abilities, but for someone with it constant, it would likely adjust.
My two cents.

+1
Otherwise the divination teacher would have two holes in his/her face Insteed of eyes,And little to no divination of the immiediate area would be possible

So what your saying is in effect this:
Your idea makes sense....Except for those it would actually bother.... People who stare into the sun will adapt to the light and not be bothered by it...
Everyone who is level 16 has a strong aura and almost every weapon that is magical is artifact level.... And apparently hundreds l of strong aura cannot be equal to or greater than one artifact which its only one step higher
| Tybalt Baneko |
Its not that it wouldn't be like that in a normal set of circumstances. It probably would. We are just either used to it or maybe having it at high caster levels guards against blindness. Not saying that you are wrong or stupid. Its just not that big an issue here. Sorry. :/
| Tybalt Baneko |
How about this. The strength of the aura can be judged by boldness instead of brightness. The heavier it is the stronger instead of the brighter it is the stronger. That way we can use it without being blinded by the light. Sound good? :)

This is rules light. The explanation can be as simple as: its magic. It just works. :)

I can see your point but I think the word is Filtering, tuning your site to stop the white out, trouble is the game says ON OFF not 50% on etc.
Its why I play it ON/OFF

What I meant by what I said-
Alright. One- magic is exponential. That's why I think that artifacts above 25th CL could do that.
Two- magic users, at least, competent ones, could probably turn the brightness down, like on a computer, while still seeing what it looks like. Just because you have a picture of the sun, it doesn't blind you.
| Treisdan Achdarach |
Either you misread or are being asinine:
Yea....
One of the books had detect something in it and if the cumulative power of the magics you looked at was higher than what you cast times four then you had a chance every round of going blind...
And I can't find it now
| Tybalt Baneko |
Let's just go with.
It works. Its been working. There isn't a real bad reason it shouldn't. We don't want to stress Lyn out. :)

it was the first one
| Treisdan Achdarach |
I accept it as a plot device and I think even having detect magic permanent isn't that bad.... But I've seen people with
Detect magic
Detect psi
Detect good
Detect evil
detect law
Detect chaos
Detect compulsion
Detect this
Detect that
Detect the other
Detect everything
All permanent and then they don't expect that to have any adverse effect at all....
Sorry for any stress I may have caused....once again ignore me
| Tybalt Baneko |
Its fine if you wonder about something and ask. We just don't need to go full debate team on it. :)
| icehawk333 |
I'm sorry for going debate team.... I just didn't understand and even Lyn said it would hurt doin it constantly....
When things don't match up it frustrates me
I do understand this- but fixing one small plot hole really isn't worth making three more.
Trying to dissolve problems, not cause them. But any witch way, if we need to, we can simply wait for lyn's ruling.
| Tybalt Baneko |
Oh so its a server thing. Whenever $murf is in a post it changes the icon. I get it now.

Gotta go take a test. Be back online after that. Ugh. Also, still sick. :(
Anyhoo, re detect stuff...it seems to me like it would be painful and disorienting to have it on all the time. But I would guess that someone who had it on all the time would adjust. I just don't think most folks would be dedicated enough to get through that difficult adjustment period. I picture it more like an overlay of color rather than a brightness thing. Like they can see in more than three colors. Butterfly vision! :)
I think for someone who always has it on, it would be painful trying to see without it, like someone who uses a strong prescription for glasses trying to see without them. But if someone who doesn't need glasses tried to put theirs on it would be really painful for them to try to see through them. Does that make it make more sense?
