Mystic Sense (Minor Favorable Trait)

A character with this trait has the ability to sense magic, magical creatures, ongoing magical spells and to perceive the presence of beings from one of the upper dimensions.

The trait is always linked to a specific normal sense, sight, hearing, smell/taste, or touch. How the sense effect manifests is linked to that sense, and if that sense is blocked, or otherwise prevented from working then the character's mystic sense will also be blocked.

Example: A character has Mystic Sense : Smell. They will have distinct reactions to magic or creatures or beings that are present that are magical, and they may learn over time to distinguish differences in smell specific to particular kinds of magic, kinds of creatures or dimension of origin. So perhaps, to them, all beings from the 5th dimension have a distinct and obvious smell of cinnamon, while those of the 6th dimension smell like sandlewood. Of course until they have actually experienced the presence of such a being they may not know what the meaning of what they are smell is.

Note that a character that has sight based mystic sense will perceive auras around magical effects and beings, but that they can be easily prevented from such by blindfolding them.

It is possible to have more than one mystic sense, but this is generally considered unusual. Thus this trait can be taken multiple times.

This trait is MANDATORY for anyone who wants to learn Spellcasting, if you can't sense magic you cannot perform magic. A Mage who has their specific magic sense blocked cannot cast their spells!
