If one is feeling exceptionally threatened, one can trace the pattern of the rune for several seconds while chanting the words engraved on the reverse side of the charm (exact words may vary depending on who the charm was made for), channeling the energy within it to activate its full detection and reveal the locations of all enemies for the next hour. Overuse, however may strain the mind and lead to paranoid or unhinged thoughts patterns.
