Spirit Swiping Summoning Sound There you are!

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 softly rings a bell charm, waits a moment, then deftly reaches out into thin air in a seemingly random direction. Pulling her arm back, she produces a small spark of light which materializes into a spirit, detailing to her the information she needs.

The bell charm acts as a channel for Kayleigh to give an immaterial spirit the slightest amount of form, upon when she reaches out and deftly grabs it before the spirit 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. Kayleigh's manual dexterity has become so incredibly refined that she can grab hold of even the immaterial.
