Second Sight

Spell Effects: Greater Sense Magic + Greater Sense Spirit.
Inherent Modifiers: None
Greater Effects: 2 (×5).
The caster opens their third eye and sees the truth of the world around them. Magical disguises are meaningless, the nature and structure of spells are obvious, and the world of sleeping spirits is revealed. Everything witnessed with Second Sight remains with the caster for the rest of their life, never fading. While very powerful, this ability is also very dangerous, as some things are so awful, so terrible, that having them burned into one's mind forever is a sure ticket to madness. Additionally, shutting one's third eye requires another 'casting' of this effect, rather than relying on a duration running out -- this means that an unlucky caster can find themselves unable to close their third eye again, caught by the wonders and terrors of the world-behind-the-world. Despite its name, this ability affects all senses.
Typical Casting: Greater Sense Magic (2) + Greater Sense Spirit (2). 20 energy (4×5).
Source Skill: Thaumatology

Source Skill: Thaumatology.

Inherent Modifiers: Bestows a Penalty, certain resistance rolls.
Greater Effects: 0 (×1).
With a touch, this spell marks its subject with a unique, invisible, mystical identifier that lasts for one week. While it exists, if the caster works a ritual to track or locate the subject, the target resists at -3. The identifier is typically a sigil or other device that represents the person casting the spell.
Typical Casting: Lesser Strengthen Magic (3) + Bestows a Penalty, -3 to resistance rolls against this caster’s locating spells (4) + Duration, 1 week (9) + Subject Weight, 300 pounds (3). 19 energy (19×1).
