Description

 * The adept senses the location of a character or object relative to his position by closing his eyes and focusing his thoughts on an item in his possession directly associated with the target, such as a strand of hair, a bit of masonry, or even a Pattern Item. The adept makes a Mystic Pursuit test against the target’s Mystic Defense. If successful, he can sense the direction of the target. If the test fails, or the target is further than Mystic Pursuit rank in miles away from the adept, he doesn’t sense the target.
 * Different Disciplines express this talent in different ways. An Archer might fire an arrow or other projectile into air, which lands pointing in the direction of the target. A Wizard might conjure a glowing thread, visible for a few feet, that he follows toward the target’s aura. A Scout might experience a kind of hyper-awareness of the area, giving clues that lead him on the proper trail.
