The study of spirit is, among other things, the study of the Weave which underlies all. An acolyte of spirit magics therefores learns early on to sense the flows of quintessence from which the Weave is formed, so as to pick out the most powerful founts of power and the ley lines emanating from them. This ability is known as weavesense, and serves as a critical foundation for more advanced workings later in a novice's career.
Those with weavesense activated will be able to see the strongest threads of the Weave about them, and gain a sense of how attuned their energies may be to positive, negative, ordered, or chaotic persuasions. In addition, such a one will feel the resonances of nearby magics through the Weave, and be able to spot magical auras surrounding objects; these abilities are akin to those granted by detect magic. Maintaining weavesenses is a draining task, drawing down the user's mana reserves each tick.
