Veil from Distant Sight (Auspex 3, Obfuscate 4) -

Veil from Distant Sight automatically detects any remote viewing power used by others which directly or indirectly affects the owner of this technique. This does not require that the owner of this technique to be the target of the viewing power, merely that they be in the scene where a remote viewer is being used (even if the owner of this technique is hidden under Obfuscate or Psychic Projection).

After winning a simple test (retest Awareness), if the owner of this technique has an appropriate lore, they can identify the type of power being used to view the scene. A Storyteller should consult with the owner of this techniques sheet to see if the Storyteller feels the power being used to remotely watch is identifiable by the owner of this technique. Unidentified powers may be recognized later if used again upon the owner of this technique.

The owner of this technique may then spend one willpower to block the viewing power. Blocking of viewing power removes the ability to remotely communicate or use other powers to affect anyone in the scene. Items created by Way of Warding become inert. Disciplines like Kholdunism: Way of Spirit fail to pierce the scene. Pebble from the Mountain fails. Powers such as Pyshcic Projection, Possession, or Subsume the Spirit, where the spirit of the viewer is in the scene are not affected by Viel from Distant Sight. The user of the viewing power does not know who spent the initial Willpower to block his view, or even that his view is being blocked, only that it does not succeed.

The user of the viewing power may spend two willpower to overcome the expenditure of the one willpower spent by the owner of this technique. The user of the viewing power is attempting to project their presence and coniousness into the scene in such a way that the owner of this technique can identify them later (as per Spirit's Touch). This expenditure of two Willpower cancels the expenditrure of one willpower by the owner of this technique.

In response, the owner of this technique may spend another one Willpower to again block the user of the viewing power. Doing so similarly projects the owner of this technique's presence and coniousness in such a way that the user of the viewing power can identify them later (as per Spirit's Touch). This expenditure of one willpower cancels the expenditrure of two willpower by the user of the viewing power. No more willpower can be spent, but both parties are now aware of the identity (as per Spirit's Touch) of each other.
