Esh's Visage - Chaos Dmg does not bypass ES

In English, "not A or B" without commas should be interpreted as "not (A or B)" which is logically equivalent to "not A and not B".

Wouldn't that properly be formulated as "neither A nor B"?

Maybe, but that extends the description length and the original is technically valid (leading to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" logic). "I'm not tired or hungry."

Should Esh's Visage wording be changed to be less ambiguous? Maybe. So far, the game developers don't think so, for whatever reason. Personally, I don't mind the current iteration, just takes a second to think about it, maybe another few seconds to look it up. But I'm a native English speaker and don't mind Googling things; others may not have the same preferences.

Just use logic functions in this case... it's definitely nOR instead of OR

Would you elaborate this a bit more?

Logic functions or logic gates are things used in programming (or minecraft if you want to do something special). They consist of one or multiple inputs and a single output and have different outputs depending on the input. Can be easily described with binary numbers.
There are
NOT - output is the opposite of the input, can be combined with others (input 1: putput 0, input 0: output 1. Combined with others: NAND, NOR, XNOR)
AND - multiple inputs, only gives an output if all inputs are triggered/active. (Input 1, 1: ouput 1; input 1, 0 or 0, 0 or 0, 1: output 0)
OR - multiple inputs, if any is triggered/active, it gives an output. The simplest one of the bunch. (Combined with NOT it only gives an output if no inputs are triggered, hence the reference to esh's mirror: only active if neither of the two mentioned statuses are met)
XOR - the most complex one. So far I only know of ones with two inputs, but there likely exist more complex variants. It only gives an output if the inputs are different. (Input 1, 0 or 0, 1: output 1; input 0, 0 or 1, 1: output 0)

That's more or less as much as I know about em without having to look stuff up. It was just a needlessly complicated reference I made there.
