The character augments his vision with the ability to see patterns of Essence. This Charm allows the character to  see motes, Essence-fueled effects,<br/>power and invisible but magical creatures and effects. These things become valid targets for the character’s visual Awareness rolls, including reﬂexive visual Awareness rolls.<br/>The ability to perceive Essence patterns has the following effects: All Charms are treated as Obvious with respect to the character. Dematerialized and invisible creatures and effects are considered visible. The character recognizes all artifacts, manses and demesnes as such. The character can automatically recognize a creature with Essence 4+ as a supernatural creature. <strong>Characters using Stealth to avoid detection are not automatically revealed by their Charms, Essence trait or carried artifacts—</strong>for the same reason that colorful clothing does not automatically void mundane attempts at stealth. Instead, add the  target’s Essence in dice to any attempt by the character to pierce mundane or magical Stealth.  Similarly, this Charm does not automatically void disguises, magical disguises and similar deceptions, although circumstances might warrant a bonus to see through them.<br/>If the character makes a conscious attempt to analyze what he sees, this Charm allows an (Intelligence + Occult) roll to do so. Identifying the exact effects of an unknown Charm or spell is difﬁculty 5. Gauging the rating of a person’s Essence trait, a demesne, a manse or an artifact has difﬁculty 2.<br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">3m personal Judge's Ear Technique</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cost: 3m; Mins:  Investigation 2, Essence 1; Type: Reﬂexive (Step 1)<br/>Keywords:  Combo-OK<br/>Duration: One scene<br/>Prerequisite Charms: Any Investigation Excellency<br/>The Lawgivers are the guardians of truth. This Charm allows the character to recognize as lies all deliberate lies presented to her. The character can also recognize the deliberate use of half-truths, though doing so does not tell her which part of the statement is true. If another Charm contests these effects (see p. 179), add the character’s Essence in automatic successes to the (Perception + Investigation) roll to oppose the other Charm.</div></div><br/>She gave Fyr a polite nod.  "It's entirely possible, but after seeing what happened to Thorns, I'm more than willing to stand against the plans of the Mask of Winters on principle.  Most people can be trusted to work towards aiding Creation in general, even if individual methods are misguided.  The Realm remains the strongest militant force on behalf of Creation, even if they're heavily overextended and despite all their other faults.  Untold numbers of things would be glad to take advantage were they lost, and the easiest way to do so would be to push the Realm into yet another war."<br/><br/>She listened carefully as Crow made a list, writing as quickly as she could to make sure she had a list of the deathknights in question.  She was going to do her level best to memorize it later.  A cross between curious fascination and something approaching sympathy appeared at his declaration of Anathema and his immolation.<br/><br/>"I guess it's time to place cards upon the table," she said, and her own caste mark burst upon her forehead.  "I personally prefer the term 'Twilight,' but appellations are secondary to meaning.  I expect that Perfect Orchid brought us all together that we're not about to kill each other on sight.  I'm also going to vouch for Crow: I can tell when people are lying, and his words are truthful when he says that he opposes the Deathlords.  Inasmuch as I doubt he had any more choice than any of us about his Exaltation, I see little reason to fault him."<br/><br/>She pauses a moment in consideration, then nods, and says, "Oh, and I made one of these."  She reaches her arm into...nothing, the limb disappearing down to the elbow as if she was reaching into a vast space between the folds of Elsewhere.  Various gears and capacitors kicked in as magitech hummed, whirring to life and attaching itself to her forearm.<br/><br/>When she retrieved the arm once more, she wore a vast contraption of orichalcum which had attached itself close to her elbow and completely covered her forearm.  It was huge, arrayed with vents and audibly humming with power.  The barrel's size could nearly hold her head and the entire length was twice the size of her forearm.<br/><br/>The tradeoff for the prototype design was rather obvious: she could hold the Essence Cannon in one arm, but the size and weight kept her heavily leaning to one side, which would no doubt slow her down in the event of combat.  Moreover, the device was far from silent, and shooting it would no doubt create a large amount of noise.<br/><br/>"I was working on this before the Usurpation to allow for an Essence Cannon which didn't require inordinate amounts of strength," she explained.  "It needs work before mass production, but it's functional.  I'm sure that many people here have similarly notable but less obvious talents."
