- System: While this power is active, the vampire ignores all penalties from darkness, including the supernatural darkness of Oblivion. This attunement also grants the vampire a limited awareness of the other side of the veil: they can perceive any wraiths, spectres, and other denizens of the Shadowlands that are not supernaturally concealing their presence.
With focus and concentration, the vampire can also identify objects or individuals that are of importance to ghosts: what necromancers call "fetters". Weaker fetters might be marked only by a strangely dark shadow, while stronger ones might have an aura or odor indicating their particular importance to the ghost (a beloved wedding ring always feeling warm to the touch, or a murder weapon marked by the scent of blood). The degree of focus required prevents the vampire from doing much more than talking or moving slowly while using the power this way.
