Sârul’s Eyesigil: Enemies

Sârul’s Eyesigil: Enemies (Dragàmyr orádra-ka shurt Kadàktrū)

One of many Sârul’s Eyesigil spells, Enemies allows a magician to detect people or creatures that are hostile toward the weaver. The spell does not detect those entities which are dangerous but unaware of the weaver. Sârul’s Eyesigil: Enemies is receptive only to intent.

Details

Eyesigils are intricate arcane tattoos which are expertly rendered on an eyelid of the magician. When the spell is woven and the eye of the caster is closed, the sigil glows and grants the magician secondary sight. Sârul’s Eyesigil: Enemies reveals the world in a muted white with hostile entities appearing as black silhouettes. When inactive, the sigil-tattoos are invisible. Sigil-tattoos are evident through Mage Sight.

History

Footnotes:

  1. Based on WoDp42 Attribute Uses Table; Spell uses Wits instead of Perception because the latter involves reaction to surprise (i.e., Composure)
  2. Targets may contest the divination if actively trying to conceal their intentions
