Discern Location

Limit Break

You learn the exact physical location of an object or creature. You must have enough information about the target to describe it uniquely; if you have a general description you will find the nearest target that fits the description. this can be a full individual name, number, or a detailed physical description. The result is revealed in whatever system of reference you understand and which is most relevant and practical. You can use this to discern your own location if you are lost. It can also be used to analyze a teleport performed in the area in the last hour, which tells you what teleported where.

Magic Mapping

Limit Break

You create a map of the area with a radius of Spot meters. This can be a hand-drawn map or be represented trough technological or supernatural means depending on your tradition. If you do this at range, range penalties apply. Powers or abilities that stop detect powers prevents magic mapping. The quality of the final map varies, but always includes walls, stairways, floors, and obvious doors. Sometimes you get more info than that.

Remote Sense

Basic Action or Limit Break

You can create a limited teleportation portal, that only transmits sensory input, but does not allow anyone to step through. You can use all your senses this way, and sensory magic as well, but you cannot move the sensory point or affect the world at that point in any way. The difficulty of establishing the link is the square root of the distance in meters, or kilometers if used as a limit break.

To gain information this way you make an opposed check against the targets' Recon. You gain valuable information based on the outcome of this roll; if the outcome matches the target's Mind you gain clear and important insights into the target's activities. On a failed roll, you learn obvious details and trivia; if the negative Outcome matches your Mind you learn misleading information or the target notices your spying.

Spatial Sense

Inherent

You can sense the basic shape of things within Mind meters. In this area you can sense things even around corners or behind walls, incorporating them in your mental world-image. Because mobile objects are somewhat fuzzy, it is still possible to sneak on you. You still cannot see - colors, script, screen images, and other stimuli based on structure rather than form are imperceptible to this power.
