Thank you for your agreement.Sure, if you want to be an naughty word DM you can ask that. I don't tend to play with that sort of DM. How do they know? The same way that they know the person waving their hands and speaking is casting a spell and not doing an interpretative dance of the birth of the swallow.Because the rules say that is how it works. That can be an unsatisfying answer for you, but a deaf creature can counterspell a Verbal only spell. A blind creature cannot. How precisely does that work? Once I figure out how to make words and gestures change quantum mechanics, I'll tell you precisely why the visual matters more than the auditory.And why do I care what you would call it?You know, I'd find this interesting. Except for one little detailYou've already conceded the point I was making. The rules in the other books are RAW. You agree. So there really isn't any reason to keep this conversation going.</blockquote>
