Also Called

Capabilities

The user is able to perceive the infrared spectrum (i.e. temperature), allowing them to see temperature variations in objects and environment. This ability is incredibly useful for observation purposes, as the user is able to see the heat presences of any living targets.

Applications

Techniques

Associations

Limitations

  • Body Heat Camouflage renders the ability useless.
  • Too much heat can blind a user from sensing the target, if the target hides near or within a major heat source. (Such as setting the surrounding area on fire).
  • May be limited to sensing temperatures in one sense (usually sight).
