For whatever reason, you are not in the body that you were born into. Your soul has departed that body and taken another. This may have happened deliberately or by accident. It may have been a punishment of some kind. Whatever the reason, you now inhabit this body and it is up to you as to how you react.
Note: this is an updated version of the Wandering Soul Homebrew Background, made by Ballistic_Ent! I would supply a link to the background itself, but it unfortunately won’t let me add it without not being shareable to the community; If you enjoy this background, please feel free to find the original background and check it out, to show the original creator some love and appreciation ♥️
Sincerely,

- Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in Arcana and Insight, due to your new familiarity with the arcane forces which brought life to your new body.
- Tool Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in two skills of your choice.
- Languages: Due to your unique feature of rebirth, you attain a new language relative to your time as a spirit! This is most commonly Quori, but can be whatever you want.
Given your unique situation, you can identify if a person or creature has been touched by magic.
You can tell if someone is under the influence of the arcane if you spend 10 minutes or more in conversation with them. You can tell that they are affected by magic, including the school of magic, but not what specific spell is used. You are also unable to identify if they cast the spell on themselves or if it was cast by another person.
You can, however, identify which body part or parts the spell is affecting (Such as a psychic defense spell creating an arcane trace around a head, or a charisma based enchantment covering only the mouth).
As such, you gain the innate at-will use of the Detect Magic spell. You may only use this instance of Detect Magic on creatures; Any attempts to use it on the environment around you causes the spell to fail.
From your character sheet on the website, go to Features and Traits, then go to Feats and select the cog wheel to add a feat. Then, select Eldritch Adept. You may only choose Eldritch Sight for this feature.
