Target numbers and targetting by <otherworldly> sight?

Many inhabitants of Glorantha have soul sight, spirit face, or whatever the wizardish equivalent is called again. I'm trying to understand a little better the effects and limitations of these a bit better.

What exactly can these detect? For example, it is a black, black, night, so that normal senses are useless. Could you:

  1. use spirit face to detect a charm someone was wearing?
  2. use spirit face to detect a practice spirit someone releases from a fetish?
  3. use soul sight to detect comeone using an affinity?
  4. use soul sight to detect someone using a feat?
  5. use soul sight to detect a magical item based on theism?
  6. use soul sight to detect a magical item of indeterminate origins (or would the narrator have to decide the source of its magic on the fly).
  7. having detected one of the above, could you tell the nature of the magic?
  8. having detected one of the above, could you use it to target them with an arrow?
  9. having detected one of the above, if you get into melee combat with them, can you "see" well enought to strike and dodge? For that matter, can you maintain your second sight while focussing on something else?

Any ideas welcome!
