Attuned

When you Attune, you open your mind to the ghost field or channel nearby electroplasmic energy through your body.
...
To Attune is to connect to a crackling source of power that can easily snap out of control. Bring your ideas of strange arcane energy into play and ask the other players what they think about it, too.
When you Attune to the ghost field you can see echoes of recent events or sense things beyond sight (the Whisper's fine spirit mask allows them to see even more detail). Surveying is usually the action you’d use to get a sense of a location or to spot hidden things, but Attuning can work—often with a worse position since you’re risking danger from the ghost field.
...
It’s not a supernatural gift. The ghost field is always there, just at the edge of the mind, ready for a connection. Whispers and other occultists can Attune as the basis for supernatural powers ...Without the ghost field and electroplasmic energy, these powers can’t manifest. [1]: 170
...every living thing in the Shattered Isles has evolved a sensitivity to the invisible “other world” that presses always against the edges of perception—the strange dimension that erupted during the cataclysm, known as the ghost field. By focusing their mind in a certain way, a human can attune to the ghost field to perceive partially into it, to sense the echoes of real-world events captured in the field, or to make a connection to ghosts and spectral energy.
Some people see attunement as a normal part of life—a new human sense that is natural and advantageous. Others see attunement as a vile act, connecting with the dark forces that once destroyed the world, and who still lurk in the shadows, always ready to prey upon the unwary or power-hungry. [1]: 209
Attuning to the Ghost Field requires attention. The greater the effort, the further you are pulled from our reality and into the Ghost Field. It is possible even to phase into the Ghost Field entirely
