Spirit Link
Our dreams are pale memories of themselves,
and nagging doubt is the false measure of our days.
Even so, the spirit voices are singing,
their thoughts are dancing in the dirty air.
Their feet touch the cement, the asphalt
delighting, still they weave dreams upon our
shadowed skulls, if we could listen.
If we could hear.
—Paula Gunn Allen, "Kopis'taya" (A Gathering of
Spirits)
Spirit Link is the Art of communicating with the spirits
that inhabit the Upper and Lower Worlds and reside in all
natural objects and animals. It is available only to Nunnehi
or those changelings who are deemed worthy to be taught the
Art. Nunnehi will only teach Spirit Link to non-Nunnehi if
that changeling is adopted by a Nunnehi Nation.
Attribute: Perception
World Sight
This cantrip allows you to perceive creatures, objects or
places in the Upper, Lower and Middle Worlds. When used in
connection with the Prop or Scene Realm, it allows you to look
in on an object or an area in the spirit worlds from afar. Places
in the Middle World can only be assessed when you are
physically present. You must either be familiar with the subject
or possess something that links her with the subject — such as
a piece of or an item belonging to the subject, the subject's spirit
(or true) name, or a symbol associated with the subject.
This cantrip does not allow sensory perceptions of the
Middle World like those able to be sensed with the Soothsay
cantrip Tattletale, but does allow the Nunnehi to assess the true
spirit of an object, person or place. Thus, by using World Sight,
you could tell that an object has a curse associated with it, or that
a person is actually a supernatural creature such as a vampire.
Possession by spirits can be revealed by this cantrip, as can the
inherent amount of Medicine or spirit power that exists in a place.
Realms: The Realm defines the subject or area being
glimpsed. Distance is not a factor for World Sight.
Actor — Defines the person or spirit being sensed.
Fae — Defines the changeling, other N unnehi, chimerical
creatures or other supernaturals such as Prodigals (vampires
and werewolves) and Gallain being sensed.
Nature — Defines the animal, plant, mineral or other
natural item being sensed.
Prop — Defines the manmade item or inanimate object
being sensed.
Scene — Defines the place in any ot the three worlds
being sensed.
Successes: The number of successes determines how
much can be sensed by the use of the cantrip.
1 success — You gain a vague sense of the subject, usually
through a momentary vision. No other sense is involved.
Used to glimpse someone or something in the Middle World,
there is only a sense of whether something is "wrong" with the
subject of the cantrip.
2 successes — You get a slightly distorted, though more
detailed, picture of the subject. Colors are muted or artificial,
sounds are muffled and indistinct, and you have no control over
point of view, which remains static. The effects last tor about
five minutes. Used to view a subject in the Middle World, this
degree of success allows a hint about the subject's true nature
(i.e., "a dark shadow hangs over your uncle, like a curse...").
3 successes — Your World Sight is clear and distinct.
Colors are vivid and realistic, but sounds are still easily
misinterpreted, particularly in the case of overheard conversations.
The effect lasts for an entire scene. Danger to yourself
from the subject of the cantrip may be clearly perceived, as
can other strong emotions associated with the subject. Used
in connection with a target in the Middle World, three
successes allows a definitive (though not always specific)
determination about the subject to be made. For example,
you can clearly "see" that Uncle Raging Bear is laboring under
a curse of bad luck, or that the mysterious stranger is actually
a vampire, but cannot tell who placed the curse, how powerful
it is, or whether the vampire is a strong or weak one.
4 successes — You receive a full, distinct, multi-sensory
image of your subject. Normal sounds and conversation are
easy to interpret. The duration lasts for a full day and night
unless you decide to end it prematurely. You can sense
potential as well as actual danger from the subject. You can
alter your point of view in a limited fashion, but may not
follow if the subject moves out of your sight. When focused on
a subject in the Middle World, this level of success reveals
specific information about the person, place or thing sensed,
such as the nature of a curse and its relative strength or the
amount of Medicine possessed by someone.
