The table speaks plainer, and keeps its whimsy

Wording throughout the app, the server's messages and the engine's
refusals trades its stacked dashes for sentences, while the maze still
trusts you to honor its curses, the gallery still listens, and the
clockwork still learns its best tricks from the humans at the table.

Line of sight is defined as the line going from the center of the attacker's square to the center of the target's square. The center is the dot marked on each space. In the case of a CREATE WALL spell, the center would be the center of the wall to be created. If this line of sight is interrupted by any part of a wall, the spell cannot be cast.",
