Summoning Chime Ring the bell... Ah ha! Found you!

1
The power to learn new information about the area you are in.
Used by Kayleigh Jones, Created by Samurai_Yeehaw.
(This Effect is obviously Alien and eye-catching across its range to those witnessing it, and you are obviously the source. During Effect activation, you are obviously investigating the area. You must actively and obviously be using a wooden bell charm.)

The Kitsune rings a bell charm, waits a moment, then deftly reaches out into thin air in a seemingly random direction. Pulling her arm back, she pulls a glowing natural spirit, which has taken residence in the area, out of thin air. The Kitsune then speaks with it in order to learn information about the environment before she releases it to go about its business.

The bell acts as a channel for Kayleigh to give an immaterial spirit a slight amount of form, which she lunges out and grabs before it dissipates back into whatever realm it lives in. If she misses her grab on the spirit it decides to stay away from her for the future, making her unable to try to speak to it twice.
