Using the PERCEIVE, CONCENTRATE, or POWER command, your character will attempt to perceive the mana available in the local area, or other magical qualities as specified. The result is based on the character's Attunement skill.

The default roundtime for perceiving mana varies between 8 and 12 seconds. Every 60 ranks of Attunement the minimum and maximum roundtimes drop by 1 second up to 300 ranks (3-7 seconds). Every 60 ranks after 300 the maximum roundtime drops by 1 second until 540 ranks when every perceive will take 3 seconds.

At around 100 ranks you can get a sense of whether the mana in a room over is hotter or colder than your current room. At around 300 ranks you will see the absolute mana value of the adjacent rooms (so instead of "it's better" you'd get "it's lambent").

PERCEIVE, CONCENTRATE, and POWER are synonyms and may be used interchangeably.

Syntax

These options are available to all magic-using guilds:

  • PERCEIVE: Provides an overview of current mana, lists your active spells, and whether you are preparing a spell.
  • PERCEIVE AREA: Checks the room for active spells.
  • PERCEIVE SELF: Checks for active spells cast upon you, whether by yourself or others.
  • PERCEIVE ALL: Checks everything you are able to sense.

Cleric Options

Clerics also have access to more mana than usual in a room depending on their devotion.

  • PERCEIVE CORPSE: Lets you check favor and depart times
  • PERCEIVE <item>: Checks charges on a blessed weapon

Empath Options

Empaths also have the ability to sense the life forces around them.

  • PERCEIVE HEALTH: Lets you check Life Essences around you.
  • PERCEIVE HEALTH SELF: Lets you diagnose yourself.
  • PERCEIVE <creature>: Determine if a creature is a construct and thus safe to attack.

Example

Living creature: You sense nothing special about a/the <creature>
Construct: You sense that a <creature> will not cause shock if you attack it.

Moon Mage Options

Moon mages have special power perception options.

Paladin Options

Sacred Insight is a form of power perception for Paladins that is used to recover grave goods.

  • PERCEIVE <item>: The Paladin can discern who owns a grave good and where the owner is (in real time).
  • PERCEIVE THEFT: The Paladin can identify any tainted people who are in the room. This works on those who are (or were recently) in possession of grave goods.
  • PERCEIVE <person>: The Paladin can discern whether someone is in possession of a grave good, what that item is, and where the item is located (on the target's person). Even if the target is no longer in possession of the item, the Paladin can perceive the lingering taint of the grave for some time. However, he won't know which item the target used to have.

Warrior mage Options

  • PERCEIVE FAMILIAR: Determine the owner of a familiar

Thief, Trader Options

You aren't trained in the ways of magic.
