You have developed a special connection with the afterlife. With this power you can see across the veil that separates our world from the dead lands, causing the two worlds to overlap in your vision by simply focusing.
Cost: Free
System: By spending a simple action, you can attune your senses to death, allowing you to see across the veil and its relative density in the immediate area (see below). You immediately see ghosts and any other creatures not using supernatural powers of concealment. In order to see supernaturally-concealed characters in the dead lands, you must pierce their powers as normal, such as through the use of the Auspex power Sense the Unseen. While Oblivion’s Sight is active, you ignore the Blind Condition from darkness. In addition, because of their attachment to the creatures of the dead lands, you can see the aura of fetters (items that sympathetically bind a ghost to the world of the living) in the real world.
