Also Called[]
- Hallucination Detection/Sense

Capabilities[]
The user is completely aware at all times of the true reality around them, potentially seeing through environmental, sensory and/or mental illusions that others attempt to deceive them with. Alternatively, this can also allow a user to percieve and potentially interact with the illusions experienced by others, including ones they’ve created, and even enter and experience the illusions themselves without losing touch with reality.
Associations[]
- Clairvoyance
- Clear Sight
- Detection
- Detail Detection
- Dimensional Awareness
- Enhanced Intelligence

- Extrasensory Perception
- Illusion Manipulation

Limitations[]
- Users may not be able to see through an Absolute Illusion.
- Users will find that being aware of a True Illusion will be the least of their problems.
- May not always work if the means of being able to detect an illusion are cut off.
- Illusions that show something more personal for the user can affect their ability to see through it unless they can emotionally endure it.
- May not even be aware that somebody is trying to place them under an illusion.
