Talk:Omnes sunt Visi (3.5e Epic Spell)

The latin here is also kinda weird. "Unumquodque est in Conspectuum" doesn't really make sense ("in" takes the ablative, not the genitive, but even so, I doubt people are "in the visible"). You just need "Unumquodque est conspectus" if you want to say "Everyone is watched/seen" or "Everyone is visible" or something to that effect. If you want to say "everyone is in sight", which is what it looks like you are trying to say, "Unumquodque est in oculis" is how you would probably do that (literally "Everyone is in eyes", but idiomatically it means the same thing).--TheDarkWad (talk) 14:27, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Hey, someone who can actually understand Latin. I was hoping for some help with that, a while back, but the best help I could find was Google Translate. I tried to educate myself a bit, but languages have never been my strong suit. What I was wanting to say with this title was "Everything is seen." If you can give me the correct translation for that, I can figure out how to correct the titles. Also, if you can, check out my spells Ostium tuum Alicubi - Deus, est Fidelis Servus - and Locutus sum, et Vidi Stellam. (Door to Somewhere - God, a Faithful Servant - I Speak, and See a Star) -Hammerhead.

For "everything is seen", "omnes sunt conspecti" works fine. However, the connotation of "conspectus" is something of a fleeting glance. The flavor of this spell suggests that you might want to try "omnes sunt visi", which implies that everything is understood. I feel like "unumquodque" probably is meant to talk about people specifically, though I'm sure because I can't think of any cases where I've actually seen it in literature. For the others, the proper translations would be "Ostium ad aliquod", and "Deus, Fidelis Servus". You actually got the last one right. By the way, I really like the spells, at least flavor wise. This is kinda of what epic spells should be: campaign ending plot devices. Mechanically, I think they are probably pretty safe, if only because there isn't any meaningful sense of balance in epic levels anyway. --TheDarkWad (talk) 05:13, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
