gollark: It's actually slower than the stupid wireless-redstone communication thing I made in Minecraft (modded Minecraft) ages ago, which is quite an achievement.
gollark: Probably not good enough for transmitting big documents or whatever, but that's fast enough for some things.
gollark: You can probably distinguish 4 colors at a decent distance, and switching twice a second seems vaguely plausible, so that's 4 bits a second.
gollark: Can you generate and detect different *colors*?
gollark: Assuming you can switch the light on and off pretty fast, and the magic can respond quickly, you might actually get decent data rates out of it.
