Message: <blockquote data-quote="Charlaquin" data-source="post: 7870048" data-attributes="member: 6779196">I imagine it kind of like the blind spots in human vision. There are actually two small points in our field of vision (one in the corner of each eye) that our eyes actually can’t perceive. But we don’t experience those two pinprick holes in our vision because our brains fill in the gaps with information from around the blind spot(s) to smooth them over. They perform a similar trick with our noses, which we can’t normally see (unless it’s specifically called to our attention) even though they are well within most people’s field of vision. Also, when you move your eyes rather than turning your whole head, your brain throws out the blur of unintelligible information it receives in that fraction of a second and fills in the gap with the first thing you see that it can make sense of, which is why when you glance at a clock with a second hand, it feels like that first tick takes a little bit longer, because your brain slotted the image of the second hand’s position after your eyes settled on it into the previous fraction of a second of your memory.Point is, our brains mess with the information our eyes give them constantly, so I imagine a warlock with Devil’s sight simply not consciously registering the transition from bright torchlight to dim torchlight to darkness in which they see normally. Their brain just smooths that over with its best guess. They have a harder time spotting the rogue in the dim light not because it appears dim to them, but because the brain is patching up that blind spot imperfectly.</blockquote>
