affect LOS, and mirrors allow magicians to cast spells "round
corners", it does not seem unreasonable to suggest that spells can be
cast "through" optical fibres (light is transmitted through the glass
and kept in the fibre by reflections).
This suggests a new sneaky spellcasting trick. Stick an endoscope in
a wall/under a door or somesuch (as per the film "Patriot Games")
with one end pointing at the target and a magician at the other.
Magician sees target through endoscope and casts Hellblast or
somesuch. Target has no idea where the spell came from, as the
magician's aura will not project through the (hidden) end of the
(long) endoscope! With planning and a bit of time, fibre optics can
be strung throughout a compound and a single magician can sit in one
room and see all the others! Magical support wherever needed!
Go on, why am I wrong? 8-)
