Re: The Book of Eilan Sidhe
Spaces cannot be in "clear sight" of any figure, because clear sight requires actually seeing something from the figure's sight point. A "space" is more of a concept and has nothing physical to be looked at. "Clear sight" must be to a physical object, in this case a tree. Yes, an Eilan Sidhe can potentially move 7 spaces with this movement.
I agree with your analysis on "bush," but if memory serves, the use of "tree" and "bush" was us defining new terms to cover any new terrain pieces we might create. "Tree" currently covers Evergreen Tree and Palm Tree, and "bush" covers Underbush, without any real confusion. Any terrain pieces we make in the future would need to be classified as "tree" or "bush" if they were to potentially fit in those categories.
There was some push to give Wildwoods the species "Tree" to give them additional Eilan Sidhe synergy. It was shot down, in part because I wasn't comfortable with "tree" covering both terrain and a species. A clever thought regardless.
