Phosphorescent Marker
Description: To aid her search for a mysterious creature living in the sewers of San Francisco, Ferris-Shu released a large quantity of specially treated spores into the sewer system. These spores quickly matured into a fungus that produced ultraviolet phosphorescence if they came into contact with any life-form that was not native to Earth, and thus she was able to locate the kappa that had gotten trapped on this side of the Gauntlet. Ferris employed a wide variety of effects based around simple lifeforms.
System: This is one example of the sort of effects that biologist Sons produce on a regular basis. They are generally tailored to one specific circumstance, but the basic principle is enormously flexible.
