Aura Perception

Aura PerceptionMysticApprentice300 hours
You have the ability to see auras. As an apprentice, you only perceive a faint outline, getting a general idea to major colours and strength—after great concentration. At the journeyman level, you may pick up general characteristics of auras with little effort, and greater detail with more concentration (colour patterns, shape, et cetera). You also have a greater understanding of what someone's aura indicates: whether they are sick, non-human, possessed, et cetera. At this level, the amount of information you pick up about someone's emotional state increases from general terms—calm or upset, to more specific emotions: happy, angry, scared. The master level of this skill imparts more understanding and detail. General aura traits may be picked up effortlessly, and this skill may be used automatically upon meeting someone if you desire. Your degree of emotional sensitivity increases to where you can tell if someone is angry with the person who just walked into the room, for example. Note that use of this skill is noticeable in that you must stare intently at the person you are trying to read; even at the master level, you must focus to determine anything other than the most basic information. You may use this skill as a lie-detector; someone's aura may flare-up when they lie. Higher levels of this skill impart improved ability to determine whether or not someone is telling the truth. The Game Master may assign fatigue points for use of this skill. 1 point per 5 minutes concentration is suggested.
