"A wizard's inner Sight is kind of a sixth sense that lets me see things that aren't visible to the naked eye. It's kind of like a supernatural truth-teller. I'd be able to see any darkness, anything hidden that you haven't told me about what you are. So if I didn't know you were a vampire before, the Sight would show me that, but it goes deeper than just physical glamour tricks. I had a cop friend, back in my world. She was the no-bullshit kind of gal, didn't hesitate to go up against the bumps in the night, that kind of thing. Totally mundane human being as far as species go, but when I looked at her with the Sight, she looked like an avenging angel. Blazing wings and everything. Even her pistol was a holy sword."
"The downside of the Sight is whatever I see, I can never forget. It's not like normal memories where they soften and fade over time. It'll be burned into my memory for the rest of my life, something I can call up at a thought. It's why we don't use it often."
He shakes his head a little, moving on to the next option. "You might've noticed that I don't actually look people in the eye, yeah?"
