 Simple earth and water. He's more fun when he has limits, such as relying on Anne's sight, and requiring cleverness, perhaps even from players, to convince people.

Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

I disagree with all of the above. We should come up with something nice. Something cool!

How much would it be for the ability that lets us immediately detect other immortals that are around?

How much would "enchanced senses" cost? 2 points? (frequent and versatile?)
Enhanced sense of smell, hearing, vision, well above human average but not superpowered.
We can't see in true darkness - but our night vision is far better than a normal persons, and during the day it is sharper.
Our sense of smell isn't bloodhound level, but's it much better than any persons.
Also, hearing and taste.

Meh, I am not such a big fan of having more presence, it makes a certain amount of sense, but mind control, no matter how subtle, is just a bit... wrong. I would probably stick with the 2 water, but presence would probably be a good choice...

((RAM: It seems most people'd prefer that he didn't get that, so, I suppose we can consider that one vetoed, heavy leanings towards more water.

Glyph: It'd be versatile if it gave access to different visible wavelengths, etc, just boosting his senses would be more frequent/major, as it makes a difference and it's constantly in use yet doesn't give him anything he didn't have access to already. Just enhanced would mean Anne would still have superior night vision to him. And Joy for that matter.
On the subject of detecting immortals... well, yes and no. I have plans that may (or may not!) cover that, if they ever come to fruition.))

 Supposedly immortals have a kind of presence they can't hide very well, or at least that's what I gathered from how Eurochkoles was detected. Seems like something that wouldn't be hard for him, but if it messes with your nebulous plot...we'll push for it as hard as we can.

I vote air, and any kind of ability that gathers information (sensing counts as this)

For gathering information, we want Water. It's less specific, but covers all sorts of observations, plus it's what most people seem to want. Including me.

I'd be fine with sticking a point in Water and one in Air too, though I'd prefer both in Water.

No. No air, its already at 7 and that is good enough for now, instead go for water, using suggestion can be over powered. Youll know what I will mean.

How much would echolocation cost? Some normal people can do it, you know.
