Are you debating just for the sake of debating?I'm sure you and I both could think of dozens of spells that can do something they shouldn't. I am also sure we can both think of spells that would do this, even though they shouldn't. Are you debating just for the sake of debating?How so? I don't see how what you said was a rebuttal of the idea of connecting the mirrors.The lens doesn't need to unify them. It needs to focus them to a single point. I think something is being assumed or misinterpreted. Flat Mirror/s to redirect light to convex lens, and convex lens to focus light to a single point (about 1 milex1 mile) at the distance away that the lens is from the earth (We have already gotten past being able to hold the lens a certain distance from the earth). Are you debating just for the sake of debating?The only one of these that exist in the D&D world is the eyes.</blockquote>Are you saying basic latitude and longitude cannot exist in D&D? They seem like fairly simple concepts to me. Are you debating simply for the sake of debating?The American's during their civil war could not see things from any distance up one could possibly want, or use a Spell to have some Outsider simple craft a perfect map using empirical knowledge. You MUST be debating just for its own sake, because your points are starting to lose the clarity, concision and relevence of your earlier posts...Modern things also cannot control variables like in D&D, where you can remove factors like inertia and gravity, and make other factors like wind, temperature, etc. inconsequential.English isn't my first language, and I don't quite understand this sentence. Could you clarify? It seems like you might be trying to insult me or my way of thinking? At least one of the moderators on these forums reads things as "Dismissive and rude" even if they arguably aren't or aren't intended to be, so I suggest being careful.It specifically says that it transports objects. It also says that if you want to see through it you have to actually stick your head through.What form of real world "energy" radiates cold?  Cold is an active energy type in D&D, not just a lack of heat.Darkness exists in D&D in a manner that goes beyond a mere absence of light.  It's an active force.  Lightning doesn't follow any normal rules for an electrical discharge, in the D&D world.  It goes in whichever direction the caster points their finger, instead of arcing to the nearest grounded object (which would be the spell caster 99 times out of a hundred).Fireballs expand to a set radius, doing full damage all the way to the edge.Energy dispersal in general doesn't follow the inverse distance square rule in D&D.  It goes X distance then cuts off, hard and sharp.  No degradation of effect over that distance, no leak through beyond that distance.[/quote]All very good points. ^^ You have made a convincing argument that the reality of D&D is very illogical.I was trying to reference the fact that they effect absolutely everything. Sorry for my poor wording. Also a black hole does not crush anything. A black hole is infinite mass in an infinitely small space, and it warps reality. It is not quite known what happens to things pulled in by a black hole but one theory I know of is that nothing ever actually makes to to the center of a black hole, since as you get closer to it, time slows, infinitely and since black holes also warp space, to say that the things it effects are compressed into a smaller space is... a stretch as far as theories go. Turn this thread into a discussion on black holes ftw![/QUOTE]
