-The blindness status property can still be applied to a character with astral vision, but will be overwritten and have its effects suppressed as long as the astral vision is active. Blindness that is applied or expires while a character has astral vision prints a different message than normal. As a result, wearing a source of astral vision will break the [[zen]] [[conduct]].
+Astral vision on its own '''does not''' negate blindness: The Eyes of the Overworld suppresses the effects of blindness as long as they are worn in addition to the astral vision it grants (i.e. wearing The Eyes will break the [[zen]] [[conduct]]), and blindness that is applied or expires while The Eyes are worn print different messages than normal.
