Is there a way to extend vision faster?

[Mr Compassionate]

So when you push your cursor to the edge of the screen you sloooowly pan the camera and see further which is important to not get blindsided by enemies. Problem is it takes ages, doesn't move that far and the game is really really long each runthrough. Is there a way to make it pan faster?

I don't think so, but if I'm wrong let me know!

Having the ability to pan the camera faster would be nice.

I second this. It really would be nice for the long-ranged spells too.
There's workarounds, like generally assuming you're going to take a lot of damage when you go around literally any corner.

Ambrosia, Invisiblium, or projectile-reflecting/high-collateral wands are good.
Teleportation or return wands are incredibly useful for dropping down, waking something up, and getting out before it hurts you.

You can also travel to the right in the Mines, and pick up the emerald tablet that always spawns at the lava there. If you hear/see something incoming, you could try throwing the tablet to block projectiles and "melee" nearby enemies.

I do use the tablets, they are especially excellent against the tanks at the Hisi base because if thrown well they instantkill. The tablets are also by far the best counter to those enemies near the end that take almost no damage from projectiles. I usually throw away return spells but I'll give it a try now.

But yeah I find the difficulty of this game is mostly based around stuff from far above or below hitting you because they see further vertically than you do.
