D&D spell illustration challenge, day 36 (5 days late): Comprehend Language
GMs who want language to matter in their game will find a way to screw you anyway.
Prompt: Two mages stand facing each other in a candlelit ritual chamber, one holding a pinch of soot and tge other a pinch of salt on their open palms. Above their heads hover thought bubbles, each revealing what "football" means to them. The mage on the left, robed in deep blue, imagines a towering American football player, mid-tackle. The mage on the right, draped in emerald green, sees a lithe soccer player in mid-air kicking a ball. The mage on the right has a speech-bubble with football mentionned among arcane language. Their expressions are equally focused but utterly mismatched—eyes narrowed in perfect seriousness, oblivious to the disconnect. Arcane symbols swirl between them, glowing faintly as their shared incantation hangs in the air.
