if you cast speak with animals and talk to a forest gnome who's speaking as if to a bird would you understand them or does the magic behind those processes work differently enough that they'd slide right off each other
#the gnome would understand you of course because you're (I've always imagined) speaking common or whatever#but I've imagined gnomish beast speech to consist mostly of actual attempts on the gnome's end to communicate on the animal's level#with subtle inherent magic bridging the gaps in both cognition (like speak with animals does) and what's physiologically possible#does innate gnome Snow White Animal Friends Magic apply outward to a listener who is not actually an animal#does Speak With Animals work on a creature that isn't actually a beast but is talking like one#what's the mechanic behind the magic#thinkin like a wizard again#'yes yes yes the spell works but HOW does it work it makes a DIFFERENCE'#gnome stuff#worldbuilding#I guess lol just needs 'so I can find it again' tags
