Beyond the Curtain - Auspex 2, Protean 3 and Dementation 3 - 8xp

The realms of the spirits are obscured from normal perception by the great curtain of the Gauntlet.  For most kindred, their sight and hearing are limited to the Material plane although some kindred have powers that touch upon the Gauntlet and can allow sight beyond that.  

Auspex can, even at lower levels, afford Kindred the ability to see amorphous Astral forms and ghosts.  Protean enhances a kindred’s perceptions by modification of the material focus of their senses (i.e. the kindred’s physical body).  While a kindred’s sense organs do not have living nerves or glands, they nonetheless provide a metaphysical channel by which the undead consciousness of kindred is able to perceive the world around them.  Protean also ties directly into the Gauntlet itself as it is this barrier between worlds where a kindred is while in Earth Meld. If Protean provides a physical and spiritual connection to the planes adjacent to the Material, and Auspex provides increased mental ability to perceive, then Dementation provides the means by which this increased sensory information can be properly filtered and rendered into the mind’s eye.  

You may activitate this power at will for the rest of the scene by spending a Blood Trait.  You may freely see and hear nearby spirits and other travelers of the Astral and Umbral realm for the next hour.  They will appear as a spiritual overlay on the Material plan. While active, your eyes become translucent as your senses are straddling the barrier between worlds.  The power may be ended at any time.
