Assensing is not always Intelligence. Psychometry, which is assensing on crack, uses Aura Reading as the primary trait.

Technically, Psychometry is Psychometry, and is not Assensing (even though it is, as you say, the equivalent of Assensing on crack). That being said, Psychometry would not apply in this case, as the character would not have access to it.
In all cases where Assensing is used (not the Metamagic Psychometry), Intelligence is what is used, complimented by Aura Reading. |

OK, now being a person who just ordered but has not recived the year of the comet book. Can you tell me, can any one take this 10 point flaw (5 if magic) of being dual natured? Is it just being dualed natured or do they gain a magic atributed like some one was hinting earler in this thred.

First of all... it costs 5 building points just to SURGE. Then you choose the bonuses and such just like normal edges and flaws.
If someone surges in the game, you have to role against a target number that comes from a surge table and they don't necessarilly choose what happens with the surge. |

Another option is that in the old Germany sourcebook, there was a way to take a priority C (IIRC) in Magic to give your character "the sight" - they would have astral perception but no ability to cast magic or have adept powers (other than astral perception, of course)...his background would, i hope, make him from this region of Germany where this population hales from...

Bitrunner: Not /quite/. You can take priority "D" in magic and gain limited astral perception, which costs karma to activate.

When used, did they become dual natured and able to attack spirits? |

Since astral perception makes you dual natured , I would say yes, though the point was not specifically addressed in the book.
