|desc=It rarely befits an aspiring master of the moonlit nights to fumble around with a torch. Tenebrous Sense is a simple spell that translates the subtle shifting of shadow and mass into a tactile sense. This will allow you to function perfectly in the dark. As a useful side effect, this remote tactile sense assists with foraging, mining, and other tasks that involve groping about outdoors.
This is a non-battle spell that can be cast on a single target. Non-battle spells have significantly longer preparation times than battle spells. It can be cast without a target, on other adventurers, and on some objects. It requires a minimum of five mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of ninety-eight mana streams woven into it.

To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of a lowly novice. By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a true authority in your abilities as a caster. It requires the Augmentation skill to cast effectively.

You sense a series of small disturbances in the shadows, as though a silent and invisible swarm of insects were darting by.

Your tenebrous sense picks up a sudden and sharp increase in mass within a nearby shadow.  However, your eyes reveal nothing out of the ordinary.

You feel the shadows vibrate with a brief and violent movement.

A nearby shadow abruptly changes in texture, becoming slick and organic.  However, when you bring your tenebrous sense fully to bear on it, it reverts to normal.
