EDSG Episode 57 - Astral Sight

* Astral Sight and Astral Sensing * Questions from Dustin * Does a character directly perceiving astral space see native astral entities as imprints or in their full appearance? * Does a character using Astral Sight see the imprints of astral entities present in astral space? * Tangent into astral perception translating information about magical energy into stimuli the Namegiver can understand. It is not necessarily limited to sight. * Astral Sight as a way for visually impaired characters to navigate the world. * Can the patterns of purely astral entities be studied in the same way as patterns of physical objects? * What does astral sensing perceive when it comes to dual-natured Horrors? * Question from K Scott * How can you tell a person/place/thing is tainted or corrupted? Can you just astrally perceive the target? * Questions from Brian * Lifesight and the Shaman spell Lifesense * After consultation with Morgan, should behave like the Wizard spell Astral Sense, with the GM requiring new tests when appropriate. * Can you use Astral Sight (or Lifesight) separately while the related spell is active? * Can the user make a new Astral Sight test when they are aware of a poor initial result? * Tangent into Josh’s general approach to astral sight. Providing mood and atmosphere, providing clues or information during an investigation. * Describing what astral space and astral imprints look like. * Question from Lee: Can Astral Sight provide insight into a subject’s emotional state? * Question from Shane: Visual consistency of portraying astral space in published books? * Ideas and suggestions for imagery and sensations to use when describing patterns and imprints.
