You know, what we got is in a lot of ways a lot better, if perhaps not for reporting back. But instead of trying to change the spell back, why not try to figure out some revision to allow communication from the projected state?

[Doomblade187]

The idea is, if we show the image in the water, other soldiers can take notes while the mage is working.

[Powder Miner]

That does preclude auditory information gathering, which I believe is possible with the current system.

Revision:

The Science of the Calm Mind:

This is the modern era. Using science and an active military firing range, we aim to solve the issue of maintaining focus in a warzone  Via a series of controlled experiments, we will set up next to a firing range and attempting to enter an out of body state several times with rookie magicians, eliminating a single calming mechanism for each run. Those that make no effect will be cut from the ritual. Those that work will be intensified. This procedure is to be run several times.

Revision:
Military Meditation:
Kolubaria is a nation of its military -- the army and its ways are one of the proud cores of Kolubaria and what it even means to be a Kolubarian, in addition to being a Serb or Croat or Austrian or Slovene. Us mages of Kolubaria are no exception to this, and if we hope to contribute to the military, perhaps we mages should acknowledge this and take some of our ways from the military.

In this case this means redesigning the ritual that puts our mages into the state of relaxation that the Sky Eye spell requires -- instead of more traditional incenses, meditation, and relaxation, this approach to meditation embraces the certainty and calm and reliance on muscle memory rather than thought that comes from military drill, with our mages reaching the state of meditation for the spell through a precise military drill exercise which includes the creation of the ritual circle for the spell itself. This should be faster and less prone to distraction than the incense-ridden method of meditation our mages currently use.

Just get some ear plugs, lol.

Military Meditation is mostly meant to cut down the ritual time, not maintain focus

[Kashyyk]

To be honest, I don't see why we couldn't roll them both in to one revision. We might as well include Kot's earplugs too. I doubt it'd make things worse.

I have actually already included the earplugs. It was angood idea.

[VoidSlayer]

Making a mage able to get into the trance quickly is good, but right now it is useless militarily even if we do.

To that end we should increase the range and make it so that the mage can still talk/write in their normal body while casting it.

That way they can get to the enemy and relay information instantly.

After we have something actually useful we can make it usable on the battle field.

[Kashyyk]

The average distance between trenches was 50 to 250 yards, so 100 To 200m is just fine for now.

I wonder how expensive gramophones are these days. If we focused on casting through military drill, we could try and use marching music to help with focus, even if a portable music player with headphones would require their own design and might be useless, but a gramophone could be fun. I am pretty sure surgeons play music to help with operations, so this would be a bit like this, and Austrians have some really good marches, so we would get bonus points for style. Otherwise throw in some ear plugs, I guess.
EDIT: Wave the wand like an orchestra conductor, heh.

Mark The Target Light
This Evolution of Our hand based light spell gives the mage the ability to Mark a Target with a Ray of light mailing them glow brightly. The User uses the Same Technique AS with His Palm light but directs the Ray while concentrating on the target the light produced from the palm shoots at the sun and is reflected to stick to the target for one hour.

This aids with helping to find the enemy and make further attacks easier. This should aid on all fronts and give Our regular army an easier time.
