| Description | ||
| Detect Manashaping assists the adept in detecting Manashaping, either from an effect being shaped, an active effect, or a delayed or imbedded effect. | ||
| Effects | |||
| This paradigm accentuates disturbances in the flows of Mana, allowing the adept to detect disturbances as far away as 100 paces as if they were only a few paces distant (difficulty 6 - 3 = 3), and enhancing the Awareness talent so that nearby disturbances - even fairly weak ones - are almost automatically detected. | |||
| Scope | Area Scope

||
| Potency | Enhancement / Hindrance: For every three points of Potency, the recipient gains a +1 modifier to Awareness Trials to detect Manashaping. This example assumes a +3 modifier: Moderate (9) | ||
| Intricacy | Effect

||
| Notes | ||
| This paradigm is both subtle and practical, and most accomplished Mystics will have optimized some version of this effect. Alternate versions with Sight Range, and using the Removed Temper Aspect, could be used to search smaller areas at a distance, although the duration and/or potency would have to be reduced for a non-ritual paradigm. | ||
