Track ShadowwalkerIndex | Above Us The Waves? | Creating a Character | Pattern Power | Track Shadowwalker The breaks and distortions in Shadow, caused by those who have the Power to move from one Shadow to another, can be detected through the use of Pattern Sight. The character looks for tiny disruptions in Shadow, attempting to find their source locations in the Shadow being studied, which other Shadows are involved, and what Power was used in the disruption. How long this takes depends on how old the trail and how major the disruption. If a single Hellrider passed through the Shadow just minutes before, the traces could be detected in just a minute or two. If the passage had taken place the day before, it might take an hour to find the traces. However, if the disturbance was major, as is the case if a vast army was led through, then the traces will be obvious and easy to find even days later. The effectiveness of this is limited by the age of the trail, care the pursued used in covering their trail, number of people being followed, and the psyche of the person doing the following.
