SearchSkill Scan
This skill allows a keen use of observational techniques and good vision to spot invisible and hidden persons. Any such persons will appear as shadows or blurs only. After turning this on, a period of time will ensue during which your character be able to see these things. Note that as with skill hide and skill sneak, there are city and wilderness versions of this skill, and it will obviously operate better in the appropriate environment.
Syntax:
scan [on|off|status]
Notes:
If a person's skill at hiding is greater than your character's skill at scanning, you may not be able to detect them.
Your character must be standing in order to scan the best. Sitting or resting will have negative impacts on your ability to scan.
If your character can perceive a shadow or blur, you can use "shadow" or "blur" as keywords. Thus, it is possible to "look shadow" or "kill blur" or "subdue shadow". Any information gained by looking at a shadow or blur will be incomplete, since your character cannot see the target clearly.
You can use the watch command to try and keep a bead on the blur or shadow you detect.
Scanning takes concentration, and so while in use your maximum stun is decreased based on how good you are at scanning.
