[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 2453747, member: 17296"] Well, you don't. Unless, of course, the creature has a magical spell of effect on it. Or, of course, if the creature can cast arcane or divine spells... or spell like abilities? Not necessarily. If you can't see something in the middle of an illumination, your eyes will fill in the gaps that it doesn't see. So it will look like it's solid. Sometimes, and depending. Of course. If the aura was indeed big enough, then you certainly could see the gap! Three feet? Easy. Aim for the middle. Of course, how far out the aura extends isn't shown, but face it, the larger the aura the easier it is going to be to aim for the middle. You're right, that's really simply being completely nothing, and a bit ashy. I didn't get that you were attempting that, and took you seriously. But, for the record, casting the arcane sight spell on yourself or on someone else will not prevent someone from throwing lightning bolts as free actions. Of course, it also doesn't grant that ability. So something else would have to. But... if something else DID, the arcane sight spell wouldn't stop it! And also of course, it DOES grant the abilities that it states in Arcane Sight, one of which is apparently the ability to see the location of magical items, spells, creatures with casting ability.
