541 The Best Laid Plans... (Part 1)

He was so used to relying on Solus's mana sense and on Life Vision that using Fire Vision felt wrong. It was one of Lith's oldest skills, that he now used mostly to cook since Life Vision had proved to be superior in combat.

Fire vision granted him the magical equivalent of thermal goggles, allowing him to see in the dark in a scale of colors according to the temperature of his surroundings. The lab was lit by light crystals that didn't emit heat, otherwise he would have been blinded.

Fire Vision provided no information about the strength of the enemy, but still could identify their position and size. Lith stood still for a while, studying the patrols' timing and routes.
