This spell allows the recipient to "see" -that is, to perceivethe world around him as with normal vision without actually using his eyes. Sight without vision allows a being to operate as though he could see in environments hazardous to his eyesight, such as in blinding light (as in the planes of Radiance or Positive Energy). This capability functions to a range of 60 feet, as though he were actually using his eyes. Even reading is possible through use of this spell. Objects that would normally block sight, such as walls or other barriers, still cannot be overcome by the use of this spell.
This spell also provides immunity to sight-based threats such as gaze attacks, eyebite, eyes of petrification, and so on. Vision-enhancing affects, such as eyes of the eagle, do not function for the recipient while the spell is in effect.
