Skill: Beginning Magic- Detecting Pings. Game: Dating Sim, Day 68
Montage has regained the rudiments of magical abilities. This is a sort of "initiation skill." She cannot really do much yet, but she can detect spiritual things.
Basically, she has a keener awareness of her own souls (plural, since people in her world have a blood soul, bone soul, and breath soul), or what's left of them. She is vaguely aware of when magic is used, and if something is a spiritual or magical being, unless they're using magic to hide it. It's a pretty vague sense though.
If she makes a conscious effort and uses her own ~magical energy~ these senses become clearer, and she can detect hidden spirits and magical beings and feel the mystical resonance of everything around her, even if it's not what you would normally consider magical. This has no real effect; it's more like saying that a rock gives off rock energy and the sun radiates sun energy. Her setting, and the magic in it, is sort of animistic.
Using magical power a lot is sort of draining though, and using a lot of magic can result in physical and mental fatigue or even compromise health. Magic energy is regained by meditation and rituals, and more slowly by just resting. Right now it isn't a huge issue since her power is pretty minor. It's worth noticing that using certain mind altering substances can strengthen one's magical energy and make your supernatural senses stronger while they're in effect.
