Hmm. Not sure why blueness is non-magical and invisibility is not. Both are changes in how an object reflects light.

Also: Tray that keeps the content hot == unlimited steam power?

[Kappa]

Blueness is a characteristic that can be mundanely achieved by altering or supplying pigments. Invisibility is more complicated.

[Alicorn]

There are plenty of existing hexes that can, properly augmented, supply electricity, and this will no doubt be rampantly exploited when the world in question learns to harness electricity.

Could a non-hex spell cause an object to be transparent and have the same index of refraction as air? (Applied to a human, this would cause blindness.)

[modrony]

Thank you Lambda. That is what I meant :)

Blindness thing is handwaved (I think)

[Bluelantern]

Could a non-hex spell cause an object to be transparent and have the same index of refraction as air? (Applied to a human, this would cause blindness.)

That should fall in "not mundane at all" side of things, a blue'd object would be blue in a mundane way, like, if you put it under a microscope or made chemical analyzes you probably would find some pigment changes or something.

EDIT:

How do breaking or countering magic works?

[modrony]

Transparent Mundane materials that bend light like other materials do exist in real life.
(check my link previously on this thread for real-life (underwater) invisibility)

What do you mean with pigment changes? Added material or 'red' water-molecules?
Can you get poisoned if you eat coloured food?

[Alicorn]

I suppose you could make an object share a refractive index with air permanently with a one-slot spell.

There isn't generalized breaking/countering magic so I can't readily answer that question.

Coloring your food will not poison you.

[Bluelantern]

How do spells deal with completely new information?

I mean, it is show you can detect stuff that you already know/thought (Like Adarin spell to detect people through walls), but I mean stuff that would be completely new (like discovering that things are made of atoms and the like)

Can you make eyeshine invisible by itself, maybe hexing it?

[Alicorn]

I'm not sure what exact use case you have in mind re: atoms.

I'm open to the possibility that a hex could invisiblize eyeshine.
