I did. I had this image of a hexenbiest stirring potion in a cauldron. In the background were all these little grimms tied up, waiting to be experimented on.
On the serious side though, I kind of wish the spell would have affected all of the cones in Nick's eyes. Not that I want anyone blinded or anything, but it makes it all the more believable as to why he would want to be a Grimm again. I could sympathize with that more than the flip flop back and forth and Juliette's "you need to be a Grimm again."
Since we're on a medical kick today, how do you suppose someone figured out that a Grimm had more cones than anyone else? Just for the fun of it, I pulled up a diagram of the eye. It looks to me like cones are rods are part of the retina. I couldn't immediately find anything to show if an optometrist/ophthalmologist can even see them.
The one thing I do know. No hexenbiest working on Grimms would have found them the old fashioned way much less determine that a Grimm had more than the average human.
I do know the mapping showed a condition that for years was known but wasn't able to see only a simple hand test would show it. The test was to check your peripheral you may have had it done the new test he uses does show the cause and how its progressing. Without the hand test well normally it was a card to the side of your head while you looked straight ahead the would move the card closer to the front and you were to say when you seen it. This is just for FYI should you ever need cataract surgery. Good note after the surgery I don't have any restriction on my driver lic. any long.

For centuries, village wisewomen rubbed moldy bread on infected wounds, gave foxglove tea for heart palpitations, and gave slippery elm bark and pennyroyal tea to young women whose cycles were late. They didn't know that bread mold was the natural source of penicillin, that foxglove was the natural source of digitalis, or that chemicals in those herbs can cause spontaneous abortions---they just knew that they worked. There's no reason to know that the old hexenbiesten knew about the extra rods--just that doing thus-and-so would neutralize a Grimm's power.
