    The fireflies can be seen in the dark, which is great, but become hard to see with Night Vision turned on.

    Yes, you need less help seeing in general with Night Vision, but if part of the purpose of Fireflies is to create an identifiable target for party members, then this works against it. I just feel there should be more working synergy between spells within the Moon Magic school. Moon mages shouldn't have to choose between Night Vision and Fireflies for this purpose. There are obviously some technical issues here, too, but it would be nice if they could be solved to create a better synergy.

    If you guys can get around to solving the technical problems here, I'd also call attention to the fact that the targeting reticles are also hard to see in Night Vision, as the reticles, nameplates, health bars are all tinted with the shader effect.

    The whole mechanic for Night Vision is whacky. It's like a low light scope, which is out of character for magic.

    Let's move the current Night Vision effect to Kobold goggles, and have the moon spell increase ambient light or adjust gamma.

    @Browncoat Jayson

    Night Vision has an extra effect of revealing some invisible things though (ie invisible walls) and that sort of benefits from the colored tint.
