Spell
Tapetum Lucidum And Night Vision.
Created by ArcaneWitch5499Upon casting this spell, the caster's eyes undergo a supernatural transformation, granting them the predatory night vision of felines. A reflective membrane materializes behind the retinas, known as the tapetum lucidum, which captures and amplifies ambient light with remarkable efficiency. This crystalline layer doubles the amount of luminescence that reaches the caster's photoreceptors, allowing them to perceive their surroundings in near-absolute darkness with the same clarity others enjoy in dim candlelight. The spell does not grant true darkvision, as complete absence of light remains impenetrable, but any trace of ambient light becomes sufficient for clear sight. A distinctive side effect manifests when light strikes the caster's eyes at certain angles—their gaze reflects back with an eerie luminescence, ranging from burnished gold to pale emerald depending on the light source. This eyeshine persists for the duration of the spell, making the caster's nocturnal nature visible to any observer. The transformation is purely visual and grants no other feline traits, though the predatory enhancement to one's vision is undeniably formidable.
