Good questions, Esmi, and some great answers as well, WL!
Just to add a little bit: I think in TDTCB you do get a lyrical description of what Achamian experienced as a child when he first glimpsed the onta. Otherwise, describing what a sorcerer 'sees,' both when looking at the world as is and when looking at the world as remade, is difficult, since the 'seeing' at stake isn't really visual, but moral and conceptual. TTT touches on these issues at several points.
