Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aesmael" data-source="post: 2035388" data-attributes="member: 22503">In the first sentence of the spell description. The one that tells people what they can expect from the spell, before said description goes into the specifics.People like the designers, you mean?In fact, if you carefully read my post, you will see that I note scrying as being mentioned seperately. This is because scrying does not detect, influence or read thoughts. However, Mind Blank does protect against it, and it therefore must also be mentioned in the description.Not so. Scrying effects are mentioned in the second of two 'additional' effects.Description goes: Protects thoughts and emotions from being read, detected or influenced. Clarified as protection from spells that are 'mind-affecting' as well as those divination spells and effects which gather information. (note that the second sentence is indeed unclear wert divination - the first sentence is actually more clear, referring specifically to 'reading' and 'detecting'  thoughts [influencing is, as I pointed out earlier, covered by the block on mind-affecting spells] as opposed to 'information gathering' [which, unlike those two terms, is not used elsewhere); when checking to see if a divination spell is blocked by mind blank refer to the spell in question to find out if it reads or detects thoughts, those are the ones blocked).The description then goes on to clarify that, yes, even limited wish, miracle and wish are foiled when used to . 'It' could indeed be taken as referring to the subject, but more likely means the exact article mentioned already in the sentence, that being the 'subject's mind'.The description then goes on to describe the additional case of mind blank's interactions with scrying effects. Specifically, it also prevents the subject from being seen by any scrying effects, even though those effects do not provide information about the subject's state of mind or emotions (nor allow them to be influenced), except by inference. That is an extra effect of mind blank.Actually, it does do more. It also protects against scrying. But that is the limit of its powers.</blockquote>
