<<One neat little side-note: if you're ever blinded by darkness, and want
to shoot someone (not cast spells at them, that isn't possible without
Thermo), assense, take the +2 for acting physically while assensing, and
use Gaia's glow to see them and shoot. :) A small trick, but
occasionally very useful.>>


Question: Game balance aside, why couldn't you do the same for spell
casting? In fact, you'd probably be able to ignore the +2, since the
action of spellcasting is not wholly physical. After all, you're still
physically active so that you can actually cast a spell at a target on
the mundane world...
