Magical sight

Magicians have magical perception abilities, typically Symbolic Sight for wizards, Spirit Sight for shamans, and Sense Gods Nearby and Sense Spirits Nearby for theist priests. Specialists bring the otherworlds closer to the worshippers during rituals, and most people only see gods and spirits at certain times and places. Cultures may have rituals associated with gaining these abilities, and occasional members who have them spontaneously.

The mythic sight of the Heortlings is described in 'Morden Defends the Camp' ('Colors clarified into keen brightness. Ordinary things dropped away, so that artful decoration faded, insignificant details disappearing so that one suit of armor or shield looked like any other...'). 'Sense Gods Nearby' isn't the perfect name for this ability.

What else do we know about these things? There's enough to go on, but maybe scope for more detail, like the HW rulebook gave for heroquests.
