Holy #$%&, it's tomorrow already! I am up too late.

I like that, "float Nanase"

Either use winged comments or slash comments.  :-)  

Glad to see silly code written in C not some johnny come-lately toy language however.

Does this mean our resident Seer will be PatentenTedd?

 . . . . . 

But seriously, does this confirm that Tedd can not effectively "Look" at the spells he is casting?

I wonder what would have happened if Tedd tried to "Look" at Pandora as she demonstrated how to make a wand?  I suspect severe retinal damage would have been possible

Well, they did look at themselves and understand their mark spell in a flash of light.  Which also gave them an explanation of their ability to "see" magic.

The problem, as I understand it, is that “looking” at Tedd’s own spell shows how it works for a Seer and not for a non-Seer. Tedd needs a non-Seer version so that the Glove Mk II will be usable by others.

Should we be worried Arthur was able to follow Tedd's "logic"?

That makes sense.  However this raises the question of the wand making wand, does it only make one kind of wand or is it a generic wand maker?

Nah, it was fairly easy to follow.
