Elena eyes him a long time before, "I want to know, too."

"The system's not a system but..." Will trails off. "I don't get it."

"She's a projection from somewhere else." Moore says, as he gestures to create a Major Image. "It's not so different from this - but there's more to it."

A nod. "Please, go ahead just walk us through what you see. Do you see the magic, or something else?" He asks. "This will help us understand so we can explain it better back to you."

Anastasia

"Oh....I understand now," Will goes silent for moments after before, "A projection."

"Correct." Moore says. "But how do you know?" He asks. "Is it like you can analyze the makeup of anything you see?"

Anastasia

"Can you not?" Will asks, curiously.

"I can if I take the time." Moore says, "But it seems like it just comes naturally to you. You must... perceive things in a different way than we do, which would make sense. I wonder if there's some way for me to show you the way a normal person sees things..."

Anastasia

"Couldn't you just..." Elena wiggles her fingers.

"Couldn't I just what?" Moore asks. "I can't just... force my vision on him, I don't think. Do you have an idea? Maybe there's a spell I'm overlooking."

Anastasia

"Aren't you divine?" Elena says slowly, "Can't you just..." More finger wiggling.

"You really didn't learn much from Meillarberyl." Moore says. "Can't I just, what? I can do a lot of things, but I'm not sure I can do what it is you're suggesting, since I'm not sure what you're suggesting."

Anastasia

"Can't you just go at reality and say, 'hey, make Wills ee things like a normal person'?" Elena finally says. "You know, vast cosmic and divine will and power?"

"I think you're overestimating what I can do." Moore says. "But... it's worth a try."

I suppose let's see if we can use a version of "True Seeing" that, instead of seeing through illusions, just... lets someone see normally? I'm not exactly sure how to arbitrate that in terms of mechanics, but a spell that gives someone 'regular' sight except instead of anything special?

Anastasia

It's a tricky spot to adjudicate since barring healing, who wants to cast a spell to get merely normal sight? I have no idea offhand what a proper spell level would be for this, so tell you what. Think about it a few and see if you can come up with a good argument for a particular spell level.

So, here's my general thought process:

Remove Blindness is a Clr 3/Pal 3 spell. Does what it says.

True Seeing is Clr 5, Drd 7, Knowledge 5, Sor/Wiz 6

Regenerate is Clr 7, Drd 9, Healing 7

Ebon Eyes is Assassin 1, Cleric 1, Sorcerer 1, Wizard 1 - and it "gains the ability to see normally in natural and magical darkness..."


So, we don't need the magical portion of True Seeing. We also don't technically need to regrow / create any eyes, so I think that removes any high level.

Since Ebon Eyes causes someone to be able to "see normally in natural darkness," and it's only level 1, I think a spell to "give someone 20/20 vision" wouldn't be a lot higher than that, assuming they have some sort of vision to begin with. Probably 2 or 3?

Anastasia

 Sure, that's enough for me. Going to do it?
