Thanks Seth, I didn't mean to pick on anybody!
Was it ever expressed in the forums that the use of "sorcery" vs "gaze" becomes more and more confusing, even to those who used it for a long time, like me? I wonder if I'm alone here.

I think it was meant in terms of "intersection" as in "perpendicular" as opposed to the "statistically independent" meaning.

"gaze show-" would be the intersection point.

I think the prefixing was done that way to put them in the manual so as to be near each other instead of scattered about on the first level, or rather, I think the real answer is that it was like that in sorcery before it was moved into gaze.

And I thought we're trying to be "parallel," 'cause "orthogonal" usually means "contrary to" or "regardless of" ;-D. FWIW, my variant is shorter...

Why not simply "gaze exiled" or even "gaze exile" (it's both a verb and a noun)?


I think we were trying to be orthoganol to gaze show-held


Exactly :)


Well, not quite "exactly". I thought it was spelled "orthogonal".
