True Seeing is the only one which doesn't have major limitations and is the highest level spell.With your interpretation for HiPS, only the lowest level spell Detect Magic would actually work for this purpose and even that would be difficult to use at best.No, Daylight typically creates both light and shadows. Daylight is not a Spread. So, any object or creature between the object emanating the Daylight will give off a shadow. It is rare that there would not be any shadows at all in a Daylight area. For this to be true, there would have to be no objects and no creatures in the area either.Not necessarily unless the target is already in a brightly lit area with absolutely no shadows. The use of Faeire Fire is to put light in a shadowy illumination or dark area. But according to RAW (and your type of literal interpretation), it matters not if the HiPS user is in bright light. As long as there is a shadow within 10 feet, a 5 foot candle light on the HiPS user is irrelevant.So, if it were pitch dark and there were absolutely no shadowy illumination or light anywhere near the target, Faerie Fire would work. But most of the time in a game, it is not pitch dark and most of the time, Faerie Fire does nothing against HiPS.</blockquote>
