1. If your target dies, the spell stops working but you continue seeing what their corpse sees, even if you're not clicked on their corpse.

2. Bind sighting a PC gives the Bard aggro if the PC attacks a mob, and the PC dies to the mob (like how singing a beneficial song causes aggro to the Bard if the rest of the group wipes). I'm fairly sure since bind sight causes no benefits for the PC it targets that it shouldn't cause aggro in this way.

3. I can't see people with bind sight, only NPC's (including pets). However if a player enters an area (by zoning in/being rezzed etc.) after I've cast bind sight, I can usually see them. I believe that this used to work on p99 but no longer does.

edit: (obviously this was all tested with the Bard bind sight song, Lyssa's Solidarity of Vision)

4. I can't cast bind sight on a player's corpse, however, if I cast it on another legal target, and then switch to a corpse, when the spell recasts itself (as all songs do) I see what the corpse sees.

I know this was from a while ago, but I'd still like to bump it. I'm sure some of the issues I've mentioned are fixable.

I tested this just now in West Freeport.

I have indifferent faction with freeport guards.
I cast bind sight on a necro who was there killing guards.
it changed my faction to threateningly

so I can see where if he had feigned or had died that the guard would have agroed me.

Hope that helps :)
