Weaving the Ley Lines
Flickering through their senses, like peering into the connections of the world. Her Mother's blood and heritage blesses them with the sight of peering into the unknown. Channeling their own magic into their senses, they can connect the dots and find the flow streaming through, like a lavender river of the Arcane. If perchance detecting creatures, she doesn't get their rough shape, just how much magic/alien energy they have stored.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Unfiltered Vision

Aurel's eyes are different from the average, allowing him to see more than the average individual, yet he can never turn them off; it constantly hurts to use without some facial covering. They are easy to overload, as he has soon found out, painfully.

Hunter’s Instinct
The scent of fear, the whisper of movement—nothing escapes the eyes and ears of a true predator.
Huey pupils dilate like a wolf’s at night. His nostrils flare as he picks up subtle scents invisible to others, and his ears seem to twitch toward even the faintest noise. To any observer, his entire demeanor shifts—his posture lowers slightly, and an intense stillness takes over, like a predator zeroing in on prey. This effect isn’t overtly supernatural unless someone is paying close attention.
Cursed and blessed in equal measure, Huey’s senses are a constant reminder of the wild beast within. Every scent, every sound tells a story that others can’t perceive—footsteps echo with intent, and fear has a distinct metallic tang on the air. His heightened awareness is a double-edged sword: the clearer the world becomes, the harder it is to ignore the primal urges buried deep in his subconscious. Each time he leans into this power, Huey walks a fine line between man and monster.
