Sense

Bestow Sense

Intensity

0

Code

§16B1

Source

perception

Bestow a target with a human sense, and Search and Scan PCSs (if none are possessed) of 5, +5 per sense bestowed (fixed, bestowed).

Possible senses: eyesight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, balance.

Heighten Sense

Intensity

1

Code

§16B2

Source

perception

Augment one sense the target already possesses to a degree found in nature (controlled). The recipient gains the heightened sense, but you own the spell for its duration — you can switch it off, you sustain it, and it lapses if the recipient leaves your range. E.g. the eyesight of a hawk, cat, or owl; the nose of a bloodhound; the palate of a winetaster (the taste, not the experience); the hearing of a dog, bat, or dolphin.

(Each such sense raises a sandestin's Search/Scan by a further 5.)

Bestow Heightened Sense

Intensity

2

Code

§16A3

Source

perception

As Heighten Sense (§16B2), but bestowed — the recipient now owns and controls the heightened sense themselves: it persists independently of you and your range, and you can neither sustain nor switch it off.

(Sense offers a bestowed form one intensity above the controlled one. Bestowal is granted per-application, not a universal option — for many effects it would be badly unbalancing.)

Extraordinary Sense

Intensity

2

Code

§16A4

Source

perception

Replace an ordinary sense (already possessed) with an appropriate, and similarly implemented, extraordinary sense (fixed). Eg.:

• the sonar of a bat;
• the ability to sense operating (eg. non-abeyed) magical effects. (Eg. a wall of force might seem to such a sense to be a smooth wall; a compelled person might seem to be held on a leash by the effect's controller; an illusion, however, would seem no different.)
• infra-red vision (must replace eyesight);
• ultra-violet vision (as above, only useless);
• analytic taste;
• magnifying vision (up to ×100 as a microscope, and ×10 as a telescope).

Transfer Sense to Object

Intensity

2

Code

§16A6

Source

perception

Transfer one of one's senses to an object, for use as though the appropriate sensory apparatus were located on/in it (fixed, bestowed).

Bestow Replacement Sense

Intensity

3

Code

§16A5

Source

perception

As Replace Sense (§16A4), but bestowed — the recipient owns and controls the new sense themselves, independent of you and your range. (Bestowing costs +1 intensity over the controlled version.)

True Sight

Intensity

4

Code

§16A7

Source

perception

Gain the ability to see one's surroundings free of all magically induced sensory data, and complete with any magically subdued sensory data (fixed).

Intensity

5

Code

§16A8

Source

perception

Confer the ability to see one's surroundings free of all magically induced sensory data, and complete with any magically subdued sensory data (bestowed).
