POWERS THAT BE

 

Shift Awareness: Sometimes magic effects if the first world are obvious, even to the uninitiated. Most of the time though the Veil and various other forces keep them hidden. They are often just under the surface, just beyond normal senses. A glimpse out if the corner of the eye or a sound that one isn't sure they heard or such. The initiated can shift their senses to be more attuned to the magic of the world. Generally this costs 1 AP and 1 EP to do. It doesn't pierce the Veil entirely, but many things hidden in plain sight become clear. For example a hidden that is not suppressing their nature may have aspects of their true nature. Also imbued items and places tend to be detectable. Many Empowered establishments put up signs that can only be read by shifting awareness.
