Mystic Sight
Requisite Disciplines: Auspex 2, Mytherceria 2
Description: Expanding their mystical sight with the rudiments of blood magic, Kiasyd who know this discipline technique may gaze upon the halos of objects as well as people to view the whorls and eddies of magical power through the world.
System: This technique requires the same rolls and scrutiny as the Auspex 2 power, Soul Sight. However, rather than sensing the colors of emotions, the character's vision senses the flow of magic. The information gleaned depends on the number of successes.
One Success: is sufficient to determine whether the scrutinized object (which may be a living or undead being) has any magic of its own or is under some form of enchantment.
Two Successes: gauges whether the sensed magic comes from the object's own power or an external source.
Three Successes: gives a sense of the object's mystical properties, such as whether its enchantment is helpful or hurtful, whether illusion is at work, etc.
Four Successes: gives detailed information as to the type of magic employed, though the thaumaturge will not be able to identify magical styles he has not previously observed or studied.
Five Successes: opens the vampire's mind to the flow of magic everywhere in his vision, enabling him to see the snaking trails of ley lines and the pooled power of crays (see: pg.173 of PGLC). Scrutinized individuals capable of mortal magic or blood sorcery glow with crackling sparkles of power even if they are not presently using their power.
Cost: 14 Experience
