Soul Tuning
Rank: "B"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Using the ability to manipulate their soul, the user is able to sense other souls to greater degrees.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: By sacrificing a movement, the user can sense the presence or absence of creatures (or anything else) within a Soul within a cone distance of 20 meters + 2 meters per Resonance Technique. And their relative numbers and directions from the user, but not a pinpoint location. Most solid materials do not block this sense, but at least 2 meters of stone, wood, or earth, or 3 inches of iron or other heavy metal will block it, as will any solid sheet of lead. If the user has at least 25 Skill Points in Soul Wavelength then whenever they use Soul Tuning, the user can gain a general location as if they were using Blindsense, but only for the purpose of detecting things with souls. Also as an additional movement, the user may pinpoint the exact location of the soul as if they had Blindsight. In half a round action the user can gauge the Soul's Power. "D" Class Faint, "C" Class Moderate, "B" Class Strong, "A" and "S" Class Overwhelming. If the user's Class Level is "C" or lower, then they gauge an overwhelming Aura, the user is Dazed for 1 round. If the user has 50 Points into Soul Wavelength, whenever the user detects Souls, they can detect the positions of Souls as if they had blindsight. Also, as a Movement the user may detect the Alignment of the soul they can sense. If the user has at least 75 points into Soul Wavelength, then during the first movement, the user can also sense the alignment, and within half a round, the user can learn the soul's type and subtype, and also the basic makeup of their Class Level Specialists. This allows the user to make performances with Soul Wavelength at a range greater than touch but within the distance of Soul Tuning.
Limit: Must be a Mabuki. Must know Soul Wavelength 5 Skill Points
*Flashback*
Through the veil Kuroki has explored gaining an understanding of the spiritual and physical realms. He would take long walks through the pages many a dusty tome looking for any scrap of lore on how to train himself properly. There hasn't been anyone who understood him enough to help in his training. But he had been making slow progress non the less. Each creature across his path he would concentrate and peer through the energies of life surrounding it.
There was limitations of course only things that carried life energies could be read this way. Kuroki understood this by the practical fact that he was dealing with a specific kind of energy. Life energy was made by everything that had life to a degree and the strength of it varied. But that was no bothered even the weakest of spiritual pressures could eventually be read in this manner. But it required tons of practice.
And practice was what Wraithfire committed himself to. He would observe even the insects of the earth to understand their spiritual pressure versus the powerful shinobi of the various countries. The spiritual pressure seemed to have a direct connection to how learned a person was in this realm. The more learned of either physical abilities or various skills the stronger a person would appear.
It was the dull-witted and weak that had the weakest spiritual pressures. But Kuroki was learning how to even see the differences even between two very similar strengths. For the Spirit had many aspects to it and how it is used. This was a skill that begged to be explored for it was information that cannot be feigned very easily. So Kuroki would meditate and work over his understanding of what he 'saw'.
Interesting for Kuroki it wasn't seeing these energies so much even if they had a visual representation for him. No what he saw was more of a sixth sense developing through the use of his spiritual powers. HE could see even when sight itself was impaired. For he wasn't seeing with his eyes but with his own spirit. Unlike when he brought spiritual pressure into his eyes to see as spirits do this was seeing on a whole new level.
