Interesting. Visual marks to trace their physical progress, like a trail of chalk marks? Might work better if there were some distinction between marks, though. Or maybe she's trying to tab the spell...
Assuming the spell would collapse the way you think it would, like seeing the wall slide apart to reveal an entire hallway or something.
Maybe a step counter on their wrist computers that counts as they go? So if it suddenly jumps up a random number of paces, they'll know they found a blind spot.
Still playing a bit of the arbitrary sceptic, eh, Wally? Or just joking, given he's a practising alchemist...
And any half-way decent concealment effect would have distributed its wardings so that a single hit wouldn't collapse the whole thing.
Unless the concealment effect extended to unusual occurrences too. But that might be a bit too much for a street wizard.
Unless you did it in a way the spell wasn't designed to affect due to oversight. Comparative analysis of each floor with an eye towards inconsistencies, for instance.
Most likely it's just a simple 'you see nothing' effect that affects the general area.
best not to mess with her too much, Wally, or you might find yourself short one girlfriend,
Not in the sense she's thinking, I suspect. If such a thing existed, people would already have discovered it.
So, more of a buff to magical resistance, eh?
She knows you, Wally.
Not the best test, then. Sadly, I doubt they wanted to try it against Constantine, who's a lot craftier, and less likely to be hindered by increased resistance. He's also technically still in therapy anyway.
...Except that's more or less what the patch-makers did. Unless the tablet making process has its own mystical qualities that disrupt the alchemy. Plus most tablets are a pain to swallow dry...
Something which can vary from person to person, too. Taste is a subjective thing, after all.
I wouldn't be surprised to find there are speedsters who work that way.
The perils of mixing exotic effects, eh?
Little hard to test it, really, even using rats,
Well, let's hope it doesn't do anything weird like turn her hair neon-green or something.
Also, depending on how large the building is, you may not be anywhere near the suspected room.
And risk having it burn out of your system faster, depending on how it lasts.
You figure the guy would go for the top shelf?
Well, you wanna get up there quick, right?
Consider it payback for the ride earlier.
Ah, she's following all the angles, eh?
Why take the stairs when you can ride, after all?
All those stairs up and down... Yeah, i doubt anyone would want to travel them too often.
Ah, clever. If he's that lazy, he may have chosen to just fool the eyes.
Likely the effect of the concealment effect struggling to affect him.
Because technology doesn't care about optical tricks.
Well, that's immediately sus...
So, they've found the guy's old lab, and presumably the birthplace of the mood patches. I have the feeling that poster's gonna be significant, but with the magical resistance buff, it might prove less effective than expected against them. If the place is being monitored, they've got to be sweating, between OL closing in and these two following the trails.
