Me personally I believe that our some of our magic energy sticks onto the enemy, so we are able to still sense them since the magic energy we put on them is part of us, so we can feel the enemies position. After awhile the magic energy dissolves like any other magic spells.
But that’s just what I think, what do ya’ll think about this?
Gameplay-wise, it’s just for visual clarity in combat since it can be hard to keep track of where your opponent is a lot of the time
Lore-wise, sensing is just an ability that people are able to do so in combat you probably focus on your opponent’s magic energy so they don’t catch you off guard
Why do you like this tho?
Because it’s an incredibly useful feature.
