[QUOTE="RoyalDragon69, post: 8004005, member: 7024829"] Hasn't been updated since 2007?! What? I got you. I will be using actual physics to solve this problem. 1) How did you get darkvision? A: Magic. This means a spell mostly. B: Granted by a racial feature. This means the effect doesn't have to be magical. It can be a physical trait in your eyes. An evolutionary effect. Such as cats & alligators. 2) How does darkvision work? A: Emits magical light up to 60' from your eyes that only you can see. The light emitted isn't strong enough to go passed 60'. The light reflects off of objects & comes back to your eyes. B: Recives a form of physical light into your retina & magic helps convert that light (no matter what wavelength or brightness) into a visible image. The reason you can't see past 60' or true darkness is because of clarity. Light received into your retna from 60' away can't be processed by the magical effect there for you dont see it. No light passes through true darkness. C: If you got Darkvision from a physical & non-magical effect (cats eyes) then it would work the same way the effect works from whatever you got it from. IE cats eyes. -Conclusion----- A: If your eyes work the first way by emitting light the a telescope WONT HELP YOU!!! In order for a telescopic effect to work you would need binoculars. However these binoculars are special. One side of the binocular enhances the light emitted from your eye & causes it to focus like a laser lens. After the light is focused it will emit out to a specific range based on the power/ precision/ size of the lens. The other side of the binocular is to receive light aka the light emitted by your other eye. Bam you have a working optic for night vision. B: If your eyes work the second way by receiving & processing different wavelengths of light into visible light then. Drum Roll..... A TELESCOPE WILL HELP YOU OUT! Yay!!! Night Vision goggles work this way in real life. The telescope condenses & expands the image by bending light thus causing the image to appear closer. Your eyes receive the light from the telescope & process it. C: If your eyes work in the 3rd manner then it depends on what animal you got it from as different animals have different kinds of eye sight. [/QUOTE]
