QUOTE (Cain @ Jun 6 2011, 09:53 AM)  Exactly. You can't ritually track someone from seeing their aura, is the basic point. Knowing someone's aura won't help you track down someone, it'll just help you identify them when you narrow your search through other means. You can't but a spirit's search power does exactly that. |

So, while you could use an aura, you could also use security camera footage. Seeing your aura doesn't make you any more vulnerable than seeing your face. |

Right, the aura is not needed, but it is not clear whether video footage works. You need a mental image of the target, technically a video feed can only generate a mental image of the video image of the target. Not sure if that is enough.

You can describe a book in a library, for example, and that works even if you haven't seen the book. You can also use a photograph. Basically, having your aura seen is no more dangerous than having your face caught on film. In some ways, it's less dangerous, since you can't hand out mug shots of someone's aura or search for it on the Matrix. |

Yeah, you'd have to be standing perfectly still for like... what is it, 10 minutes? 1 minute at the very least. If you're doing that, you've likely already been caught. |

I recently checked it. It is 30 min, but the person only has to remain within the camera's field of view.

Which is still quite a while in a single place where an enemy is observing you. I think that still falls a bit under 'if they've got this of you, they've already captured you'.
