(You must actively and obviously be using up a phone's worth of energy.)

Drawing external energy from a device and combining it with their own reserves, Rei is able to over-charge their senses to detect all sorts of energy-- allowing them to see in the dark and scan heat signatures, electric fields, and even neurological activity, functioning similarly to a radar.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must use up a phone's worth of energy in order to activate this Effect.

Your senses are enhanced in the following way. Lasts for three hours.

  • Sight: You can see perfectly in dark and even pitch-black environments. You suffer no dice penalty due to darkness.
  • Electroreception: You may detect electromagnetic fields, electric currents, and even neurological activity in a 50 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting neurological activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.
  • Thermal: You are able to "see" heat signatures within your line of sight.

Any senses which have been heightened cannot be overloaded. Battle Scars you receive cannot affect these senses.

  • Examples of overloading a sense include: an explosion causing temporary deafness, a bright light causing blindness, a sedative causing numbness, etc.
  • When you are within 50 feet of range, your electroreception sense is sufficient for aiming.
  • Your thermal vision allows you to judge temperatures of surfaces fairly accurately as long as they are within livable temperatures.

Edit: Expensive...might be better as Activated? This is a major investment, clearly to take advantage of the trading economy. It'll raise the question: how many Senses can you have between Crafted items & Innate Powers?

If the max is still relevant, this item will be wasted on most high level characters...
