• Pulse of the Invisible
The Beast in every vampire has an instinctual understanding of where to find the blood it craves. Some learn to extend this instinct to include the flow of Essence through the world, something more foreign to their natural impulses. This power gives vampires a sense of when spiritual phenomena are going on nearby, and the opportunity to more clearly pinpoint them.
Effect
The character makes a Wits + Occult roll whenever a spiritual phenomenon occurs nearby. Success gives the character some notable stimulus, often something she hasn’t felt since her Embrace — her hair standing on end, for example.
When alerted to such a presence, the character may spend one Vitae to strengthen this sense for the remainder of the scene. She becomes able to see loci, verges, other spiritual phenomena and spirits in Twilight, though she gains no special ability to touch or affect them. For some vampires, this sense also manifests as a smell, sound or tactile sensation. A character may try to communicate with a Twilight spirit she can see, but this power provides no ability to understand their strange language. Luckily, some can speak the languages of Earth.
Vampires traveling in Twilight (per Twilight Projection) do not trigger the character’s sense of the supernatural, but may be seen if the character spends Vitae. See the “Clash of Wills” sidebar in Vampire: The Requiem, p. 119. The character using Pulse of the Invisible should roll Wits + Empathy + Blood Tenebrous.
