Is Charm Monster (or similar magic) obvious to bystanders that the spell is being cast?  I've looked at a number of sources, for example I've looked at the "Sage Advice Compendium" which reads:      Do you always know when you’re under the effect of a spell?      You’re aware that a spell is affecting you if it has a perceptible   effect or if its text says you’re aware of it (see PH, 204, under   “Targets”). Most spells are obvious. For example, fireball burns you,   cure wounds heals you, and command forces you to suddenly do something   you didn’t intend. Certain spells are more subtle, yet you become   aware of the spell at a time specified in the spell’s description.   Charm person and detect thoughts are examples of such spells."   Sage Advice Compendium, Page 11  This describes that the target is not aware if it has no perceptible effect; however in the PHB page 203, it reads:     Verbal (V) Most spells require the chanting of mystic words. The   words themselves aren’t the source of the spell’s power; rather, the   particular combination of sounds, with specific pitch and resonance,   sets the threads of magic in motion. Thus, a character who is gagged   or in an area o f silence, such as one created by the silence spell,   can’t cast a spell with a verbal component.      Somatic (S)      Spellcasting gestures might include a forceful gesticulation or an   intricate set of gestures. If a spell requires a somatic component,   the caster must have free use of at least one hand to perform these   gestures.   PHB 203, emphasis mine  This would say to me that a spell is quite obvious it is being cast by just about anyone (assuming you aren't casting it with subtle spell, as part of the sorcerers class features); however, in the PHB, it says this:      Unless a spell has a perceptible effect, a creature might not know it   was targeted by a spell at all. An effect like crackling lightning is   obvious, but a more subtle effect, such as an attempt to read a   creature's thoughts, typically goes unnoticed, unless the spell says   otherwise.   PHB Page 204  So when we review these sources, it would say that the target is not aware, yet casting the spell is quite obvious if we look at what it says about the vocal and somatic components; furthermore, it says nothing about bystanders and if they would notice these charm spells.  So back to our original question...  Do bystanders or the target's allies recognise you are casting a spell?  I'm asking for a RAW answer please.
Charm Person has verbal and somatic components.  Is there anything in the rules as written that defines how obvious those verbal and somatic components are?  Would it be obvious the caster was casting a spell from 5 feet away?  From across a crowded room?  I'm specifically interested in an answer based on the rules as written, although interpretation and individual opinion are not unwelcome.
Real world uses of hyperbolic trigonometric functions I covered hyperbolic trigonometric functions in a recent maths course. However I was never presented with any reasons as to why (or even if) they are useful.  Is there any good examples of their uses outside academia? Methane’s absorption bands are centered at 3.2 and 7.2 microns -- far off the peak of the Planck spectrum for a 290 K blackbody near 16 microns.  Moreover, its absorption bands overlap with the water absorption region.  So why is methane considered a stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, which has an absorption band at 15 microns? How do I access the terminal without logging in to the desktop? Format numbers in django templates How do natural and weapon attacks mix? I have a level 1 Synthesist Summoner.  Since he has the Quadruped base Eidolon, when fused, my Summoner has a bite attack (Primary). In addition, I have spent evolution points on a tentacle (Secondary). Finally, my Synthesist carries around an Axe, with which he can make weapon attacks.  If I were to use the Full-Attack option, what attacks could I make, and at what penalties? Let's assume I want to always use the Axe, where possible.  How does this interact with the eidolon's natural attack limit?

When I'm connected to two networks with separate routers using Wifi and Ethernet, how does my Mac know what connection to use when I visit a website? SQL Servers has Traces and XEvents. These are used to capture and analyze what is going on with our SQL Server Instances. Events are stored in the stack for later analysis. For example,  If I decide to monitor any dead lock in the database, I just query the trace file to see the history of deadlock for a period of time. Here is my question:  While events occur, in our example deadlock event, is there a way to get an email notification using msdb.dbo.xp_send_dbmail? Tensor products of simple modules over algebras Let $A$ and $B$ be $\mathbb{C}$-algebras. Suppose that $M$ and $N$ are respectively simple $A$ and $B$ modules.   We can regard $M$ and $N$ as $A\oplus B$-modules in natural way, namely, $AN=0$ and $BM=0$. Let $M\otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N$ be the tensor product of $A\oplus B$-modules $A$ and $B$.  ${\bf My\ Question:}$ Is $M\otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N$ still a simple $A\oplus B$-module? What conditions on $A$ and $B$ will make this result true? Thanks very much in advance! How to delete a keyboard layout in Windows 10 I installed Windows 10 on a physically German keyboard, then installed a Window English software keyboard and bought some little stickers to make my keyboard look OK.  However, Windows shows 2 keyboards installed &amp; occasionally toggles back to German.  Note that I am not talking about removing a language (which is all that I can find when I Google).  How do I remove the German keyboard layout? I want to use VBScript to catch errors and log them (ie on error "log something") then resume the next line of the script.  For example,   On Error Resume Next 'Do Step 1 'Do Step 2 'Do Step 3   When an error occurs on step 1, I want it to log that error (or perform other custom functions with it) then resume at step 2. Is this possible? and how can I implement it?  EDIT: Can I do something like this?   On Error Resume myErrCatch 'Do step 1 'Do step 2 'Do step 3  myErrCatch: 'log error Resume Next When wouldn't I use LASSO for model selection? For which real values of t does the following system of linear equations:  $$ \left\{  \begin{array}{c} tx_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 1 \\  x_1 + tx_2 + x_3 = 1 \\  x_1 + x_2 + tx_3 = 1 \end{array} \right.  $$  Have:  a) a unique solution?  b) infinitely many solutions?  c) no solutions?  I haven't done linear algebra in almost a year, so I'm really rusty and could use some pushes in the right direction. In all the Star Wars movies, R2D2 just boops and beeps his way around. And everyone understands him perfectly, though he is obviously not speaking Basic.  How do people understand him - is there like an astromech language? If so, then would one have to learn it, or is it comprised of feelings and emotions (expressed in beeps), essentially making a tonal language?  If I may be permitted to use an example from the prequels without too many lynch mobs forming, Anakin Skywalker converses frequently with Artoo while in the Naboo fighter, but he couldn't have had much schooling at the age of eleven, especially because he was a slave.  So how would people, Anakin especially, be able to understand astromechs? Prove that : $a_n>0$, Then, $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ converges iff $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \sin(a_n)$ converges. I am given the problem: Let $a_n&gt;0$, prove $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ converges if and only if $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \sin(a_n)$ converges.  We have this problem in a homework, and I don't believe it can be true. The statement being biconditional implies that when $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \sin(a_n)$ converges, so too does $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$, but if we take $a_n=\pi n$ or even $a_n=\pi$, then $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \sin(a_n)$ converges while $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ diverges. Is my thinking incorrect? Do we have negative prime numbers? Do we have negative prime numbers?   $..., -7, -5, -3, -2, ...$ Yesterday, I have received two : Revival, and Self-Learner. However I was only notified of the Revival badge, because apparently the Self-Learner badge is not considered "".  What badges have their notification suppressed if the user has a 200-rep account somewhere on the Stack Exchange network, i.e. they won't trigger a new item in our achievements dialog? I got a brand new Windows 7 machine, installed the operating system, created one account and forgot its password. What can I do?  There is no external CD, the operating system is loaded from somewhere inside the machine.  I already tried to remember passwords and tried all candidates with all possible combinations of caps lock, num lock etc. How to get the key for a given object from an NSMutableDictionary? Quadratic Formula in Complex Variables Let $a$, $b$, and $c$ be complex numbers with $a\neq0$. Show that the solutions of $az^2+bz+c=0$ are $z_1,z_2=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$, just as they are in the case when $a$, $b$, and $c$ are real numbers. Rounding up to next power of 2 I want to write a function that returns the nearest next power of 2 number. For example if my input is 789, the output should be 1024. Is there any way of achieving this without using any loops but just using some bitwise operators?
