I know WHAT it is, but I dont know why it exists, what use it has, or where it may have come from. All sides are identical, its translucent green. The pips are scalloped, not painted on, and are otherwise unremarkable. Help me out here, its definitely my favorite d6, but I am struggling to figure out a purpose for a +5 dice.
...I mean, aside from that I need a +5 weapon, clearly.
How do you look at this for longer than 2 seconds without noticing it? Guess it's a good example of how much of magic is distraction
My guess is the magician rolls the forcing dice (perhaps after showing other identically colored dice for close inspection), instantly reads off the result, giving just enough time to see the top faces match what they said, then scoops them back up and moves on with the trick.
You might not get those two seconds.
Great guess, this is precisely it.
Ikr, baking the dice is a wayyy better option
Baking?
Baking dice can allow any bubbles inside to move up toward whatever side is up during the process. This weights the die toward that side, but not so perfectly it will land there every time.
Slight of hand, distraction of mind.
