The eyes look down, the die stops the reel, and a punch is a fist

A day of Eric watching the clips as a newcomer would.

The camera can pitch: FirstPerson takes a `pitch` that shears the
horizon up the pane (walls center on it, the eye stays half a wall
high), so the ground at the pane's foot comes within half a cell. The
director uses it for deeds at your own feet — a conjuration on your
square, a treasure taken up, the pit you fell down — instead of the
cutaway that stepped outside your body.

Everything shows through a warp. The floor pass now runs between the
cast and the wall draw, so a column that bent through a mouth maps its
ground through the warp's rigid motion and wears the far room's decals
— the pit past the wormhole included — under the same violet haze as
its walls.

A wizard down a pit is public (inPit on the player view), drawn sunk to
the floor line in first person and dimmed on the board. A body sharing
your square, which had no depth to draw at, stands right in front of
you. A pit leap glides like a shove instead of cutting. And the
director's blocked-sight test no longer counts a warp BEYOND the
target as a block, nor stands a cutaway camera inside another wizard's
square — the pair that put Wanderer's face across the whole pane.

The reel stops for a die: a card over the held world names who rolls
and for what, tumbles the faces on the reel's own clock, lands the
roll, and only then plays the outcome; the beat, the fx, the glides
and the camera all wait it out. A punch by you drives a fist into the
scene; one at you comes at the camera; both land with a comic POW.

film-clips rolls until the reel's last move rather than a fixed count,
and the gate settles longer on a step whose caption rolls a die. All
thirty goldens re-blessed.
