 ======Potenteye=======
-**Potenteye** is an innate ability which [[Sape|Sapes]] may rarely be born with. This ability allows a sape to visually perceive the direction, rate, and size of a flow of magic.
+**Potenteye** is an innate ability which [[Sape|Sapes]] may rarely be born with. This ability allows a sape to visually perceive the direction, rate, and size of a [[potentia|flow of magic]].
-This ability differs from the more powerful [[Magic Sight]] of a dragon in that skilled sapes may conceal the flow of their magic from other potenteye users. Additionally, potenteye requires some effort to activate and maintain, whereas magic sight requires no effort on the part of the dragon and may be activated or deactivated at will.
+This ability differs from the superior [[Magic Sight]] of a dragon in that skilled sapes may conceal the flow of their magic from other potenteye users (a method that does not work against magic sight). Additionally, potenteye requires some effort to activate and maintain, and may cause some physical pain or even permanent eye damage in sapes who attempt to keep the ability active for prolonged periods, whereas magic sight requires no effort on the part of the dragon and can be maintained indefinitely.
+Potenteye, when used, visually manifests in the user as a temporary splitting of their pupils.
+For the user, potentia will appear in the air around sources of potentia and users of potentia as a series of concentric waves outlining the forms. The density of these waves, combined with the size of the waves relative to the source, determines the amount of potentia present therein. Additionally, if a being has just used magic, then this is visibly evident as a trail behind the user which hangs in the air. A place where magic was used retains the visible appearance of these concentric waves for some time, with more powerful magic use taking longer to visually disperse. More powerful magic will result in a longer trail connecting the caster to the location it was used.
