Well, I wasn't trying to explain it to someone who I had to assume hasn't gone through all the books yet.
In a nutshell, magic in the series technically has infinite range, but because Magicians are human, human perception causes things that are "too far away" to be sensed to also be "too far away" to use magic on.
There are a couple of things that can bypass this perception issue, and Tatsuya's Elemental Sight is one of them. His Elemental Sight is also what enables him to analyze "Modern Magic" as it's being used, which opens up counterspell options for him that Magicians normally don't have access to (because the magic's information coming out too quickly in too large of a volume to analyze for most Magicians).
Is that better?
