Anyone have any idea what the magma vision and demon spheres tags do?

Pretty sure the [SPHERE] tag influences what "decorations" show up in the demons' chamber. (If your pits are inhabited by spirits of fire, you'll find lots of ash and charcoal scattered around the chamber; if it's inhabited by tentacle demons, you'll see engravings described as depicting acts of depravity  :eek: ). I don't know if any values are possible other than those already used.

The answer for this is nearly always 'no', and this case doesn't escape the rule.

Half of the OP's question remains unanswered:  What does magma vision do?

Well, that sounds obvious, doesn't it?  But have you seen any evidence to suggest dwarves can't see creatures one or more levels beneath the surface of a magma pool?

If anything, I've seen just the opposite; dwarves will frequently get scared away from the edge of a magma vent if there are imps or such several levels down, so it seems they're quite capable. Maybe it has something to do with being able to see while -submerged- in magma.

As in real life magma is opage, and thus game seems to focus a lot on realism, I think that is a bug/unimplemented feature, and that indeed it SHOULD only allow creatures tagged as shush to see trout it.
