I had hoped I overlooked something in the Lore of D&D but it seems like they have left it ambiguous, probably on purpose because FM Theory rules all. | |

| Dec 2, 2016 at 12:11 | comment | added | Protonflux | I am really wary of using modern science and technology to explain magical effects and fantasy race abilities. It can be misleading as to intent, how the ability works and can break the feel, mystery and mood. Magic ignores our understanding of science anyway it wants, whenever it wants, that's why it is called magic. Darkvision has nothing to do with infrared, photon multipliers, photosensitive chips or light sensitive retinas, if for no other reason than it works even if there is no light whatsoever. Much better to try and explain things in terms of the "alchemical mysteries" of the setting. | |

Linked to referenced question. General cleanup. (ie = "that is"/eg = "for example")
