By that logic you can see air because there's clouds in the sky.

How about blind or very sight-impaired characters? Could they “see” the wall as they “see” everything, by touching/perceiving it? That’s as well as they can see anything.

Is seeing the same as visualizing? Because the cloud’s shapes and height clearly give you an idea where a mass of air with certain common characteristics is, where it starts, and where it ends.

It would be kind of neat that you would have to learn to see what can't be seen to destroy something like force wall, because that would mean the blind would actually be better casters.

There's also blue in the sky. That's literally you seeing the air

Actually that's us seeing light.

Edit: specifically, the light wavelength that remains at passing through the atmosphere. We're but seeing the air still, we're just seeing the color that makes it through to us. Saying that's the air itself would be like saying you see the cities filtration system by looking at the clean water that comes from a faucet.

A better example of actually seeing air would be to freeze it, and seeing the literal frozen air.

That's what seeing is. Light. You can't actually directly observe the atoms that make something up. You can see the light that is reflected/emitted from that object.

[-] hikaru755@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Light bouncing off of air molecules, yes. That's how seeing things works

Do you see your own eyes? Like without a mirror

[-] hikaru755@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

No. Why is that relevant?

[-] voracitude@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago

Son of a bitch, that's a good argument.
