&gt; I like to point out that I can't tell where a smell originates

Second hand goat milk has that property of once being smelled, causing 
all subsequent to smell like second hand goat milk.

Blech.

The kids love it tho (first hand).

&gt; A layer system would only work if each sense was assigned a colour.
&gt; Say purple for magic.  Coz this is a scalar value, some senses like
&gt; smell could be split into multiple senses (for implementation
&gt; purposes).  So green would be for the smell of apple blossom and
&gt; brown for poo.

Have the blob be translucent, with the name of the sense or any
pecularites about the sense report be in text within the blob as a
variation of colour in the blow (sahdow text).  Further variation can
be had by colour palette rotation within a narrow colour range ("Its
pulsing from bright blue to indigo!"), or flashing the translucency
with the rate of flash being proportional to the strength of the
sense/signal.

&gt; Magic horse manure would be viewed as graphically brown with a dense
&gt; brown mixed with light purple transparent blob superimposed upon it.

Yeppirs.
