Bonus request: Awakened: Spiritual Senses
Impact: For starters, one hell of a nosebleed. We're talking the recovery of a sense Nao has possessed since birth. The acquisition of said sense can easily make people born without it lose their minds in very short order in part due to the impact of the acquisition itself. The sudden loss of it? Let's just say she's done a pretty good job keeping her marbles together and functional despite a generally potentially maddening handicap/disability. She'll experience a deep relief being able to properly experience reality and the world and it will, in many ways, be like looking at everything and everyone in and around the town for the first time as "real" in a -- ha -- sense.
How so?
It's simple enough to say Nao's passive spiritual sense allows her to sense spiritual energy, but the fact of the matter is she experiences the world differently. She not only sees spirits, gods, demons, etc. and the whole of the world as it truly is, but feels it. As with all senses, hers was further developed throughout her life. With active concentration, she's capable of reading various types of spiritual energy. She's good at it, capable of detecting and discerning small traces and types and consequently pinpointing and tracking individual signatures.
In a sense, she can function as a navigator and she's very, very, very well-practiced at doing so in a huge city. Likewise, she's got a pretty big database to lean on in terms of discernment and identification. Of course, there are some potential drawbacks to having such a sense, namely a sensitivity to the energies she senses. Your average human feels like the room got cold all of a sudden and somebody's watching them while Nao is gripping their shoulder, stopping them five feet out of reach of the monstrous spirit radiating such an intense hatred and dread that it manifests as an increasingly burning cold that can and will freeze a person to death -- and Nao's doing it with a big ole smile, redirecting the oblivious just in time for said spirit to crash through the wall and freeze it.
You're a fire-type oni? Recently or noticeably descended from a god of some kind? A half-incubus masquerading as your friendly, neighborhood, fully human mage? Sweat. Sweat more.
