Insight is a set of Gifts granted to the Forsaken by spirits associated with wisdom and, sometimes, death; owl and serpent are common. They focus on perception into the "invisible world" of the supernatural. The Gifts of Insight are affinity to Bone Shadows, although the powers are also used frequently by Ithaeur and Elodoth Uratha. The Fire-Touched are also able to use these gifts.
First Edition[]
Powers[]
Sense Malice: The werewolf is capable of sniffing out the taint of hatred, anger, or envy in a soul.
Scent of Taint: This Gift permits the wielder to detect the presence of supernatural beings (bar the Uratha or Wolf-blooded, whom it cannot recognize).
Echo Dream: The user can sense the echoes of significant events that have occurred in the target area.
Soul Read: Insight can allow the user to directly read the worst fears, secrets, and sins of the target.
Omen Gazing: The Uratha can enter a meditative trance that can catch glimpses of potential futures.
Second Edition[]
Powers[]
- Prey On Weakness (Cunning): This Facet tears away the decade behind which the prey hides, revealing his frailties to the hunter.
- Read The World's Loom (Glory): The world is filled with a deluge of seemingly trivial information that offers insight to the initiated.
- Echo Dream (Honor): The world is filled with spiritual echoes of what has come before, patterns worn into its fabric. An Uratha with this Facet can hear those echoes and glean insight from them.
- Scent The Unnatural (Purity): The Uratha who possesses this Facet can smell the tainted presence of creatures and powers that defy the natural order of Flesh and Shadow.
- One Step Ahead (Wisdom): Wherever the prey runs, wherever they flee, the predator is always one step ahead.
