Manasight Adept
You no longer perceive the world through mundane sight. Your senses are tuned to the essence of mana itself, allowing you to navigate reality by reading its magical resonance. To you, the world pulses and flares in endless patterns of energy — and nothing can hide from your gaze.
Magical Perception
- You see only through Manasight, a sonar-like perception that detects the presence, shape, and intensity of mana in all things. Every object radiates a trace, allowing you to visualize their form via magical force.
- You possess darkvision out to 30 feet. However, you do not perceive colour, only fluctuations of mana as intensity or hue.
- You can identify types of magic in your environment and recognize distinctive magical signatures in creatures or objects (DM’s discretion).
- You cannot read traditional text, including ink on paper or printed signs. You are limited to tactile writing such as Braille, carved, or embossed surfaces.
- You gain proficiency in Arcana. If you already have proficiency, you instead gain expertise.
Manasight Focus (Magic Item)
Upon selecting this feat, you receive a magical accessory — a bracelet, brooch, ring, goggles, or similar item — attuned to your Manasight.
- You may activate or deactivate this item as a bonus action, up to twice per long rest.
- When activated, it allows you to perceive through Manasight even in mana-parched regions, which would otherwise leave you blind. This effect lasts for 1d4 hours.
- If activated in a mana-saturated area, the overwhelming feedback causes 1 level of exhaustion and renders you blinded until the item is deactivated.
Arcane Transparency
You can see through any material thinner than 1cm, or any effect that would normally obstruct sight — including cloth, fog, magical or mundane darkness. This will not allow you to see through typical walls etc.
Blinding Immunity
Your magical awareness cannot be clouded. You are immune to the blinded condition and effects that would obscure vision or distort perception. Your vision can only be impaired in ways that alter the environment magically.
Roleplaying Note
You experience the world as a map of mystical threads and currents. Light and matter mean little to you. Instead, a locked door may shimmer with evocation energy, a lie might pulse with illusory strain, and silence might whisper of dispelled wards.
It may be an idea to try and come up with an item that helps your character read, or you can rely on your trusted companions to help you with this!
