So, I was checking the SSMASLE, and I couldn't find anything on this: do we have an ability that allows someone to sense the presence of Auras? I could understand this being interpeted as something all people with Aura could do, but I decided to try with this anyway.

-Name: Grayscale

-User(s): Marion Berry

-Type: Physical/Psychic (I think)

-Purpose: Utility

-Short description: When activated, the user's vision will turn gray, and the unlocked Auras of all people within 1/2 a mile will be illuminated, which can be differentiated by Aura color. Unlocked Auras appear in full color, and locked / unactivated ones will be a dulled version of their color.

-Activation Cue: Marion's Aura becomes saturated and loses most of its violet color.

-Range: Effect is personal, but vision range is up to 1/2 a mile.

-General limitations: 1) Marion's overall vision becomes worse while it is activated, making her vulnerable to sneak attacks, especially from creatures of Grimm, as they lack an Aura. 2) The maximum amount of time usable is 2 minutes [assuming she has full Aura and some level of concentration], with the cooldown being 2x the duration used. This value will decrease to 1.5x the duration in later tiers. 3) If she has several obstructions between the Aura source and herself, such as thick or especially numerous bouders, trees, or walls, the detail will become much harder to see, and will often generate blind spots.

-Passive ability(s) (if any): Not sure whether knowing someone's Aura color counts or not. I'm going to assume it doesn't.

-Active ability: Tier One: User can see people's Auras from up to 1/2 a mile away. The duration of time is 2 minutes, and the cooldown is 2x the duration used.

-Active ability: Tier Two: Cooldown is reduced to 1.5x the duration used.

-Dust interaction: N/A

-Notes: Marion is the team leader of MNGO, and uses this ability for [counter]-espionage on opponents and coordination of team movements.
