Wait. What? You're now going to argue about "realism" in a discussion of disbelieving magical illusions? Besides, don't you think that part of the training in the "dsibelief cantrip" might include recognizing signs that something isn't real in a split second -- the same way that a soldier notices something that makes him immediately drop to the ground without being able to explicitly tell you what that thing is?

I'll disagree completely with you on that -- a rookie might not notice those things right off the bat, but a veteran sure would -- I've seen it a million times. That's why he (or she, I would presume) has made it to the point where they ARE a veteran. He might not be able to DO anything about it just then, but he NOTICED it all right. Just sayin'...
