From how far away can you hit someone with an evocation?
exploding_brain:
Fists and melee weapons are limited to opponents in your zone. Thrown weapons can go into the next zone. Guns can go two zones, maybe three if it's a rifle. It seems like most single target evocation attacks should be similar to thrown weapon range at least, if not handgun range, but I can't find any rules text that says for sure.
Assuming your standard evocation can attack opponents in an adjacent zone (like a thrown weapon), a follow up question would be; can you spend shifts to hit someone farther away (arcane snipe rifle)? Can you get some small bonus to your evocation (probably not a full shift) if you limit it just you zone (arcane brass knuckles)?
Deadmanwalking:
I believe Evocation is line of sight, and thus as many zones range as that allows for.
exploding_brain:
Right, duh. I read that like 50 times, but it never clicked that meant ignore zones, if you can see it, you can hit it.

Do telescopes and lenses extend your line of sight? ;D
Sounds like a cheat. So I'd rule that you can't target a spell through lenses even if it is still line of sight. But then what about the poor Wizard who wears glasses?

Sure, why not? Anything technological is a no (because of how magic interacts with that stuff), but a telescope should work fine. Hell, I can see a Wizard with a telescope as a Focus item and a specialty in sniping Red Court with lances of fire from a mile away. Think "Quigley Down Under" with magic. :)
How and why would that concept need to be disallowed?
