This occurrence isautomatic and always happens as soon asany two Immortals come within 300 yards ofone another, but does not point to a location,merely as a generic presence sense thatmanifests as a sort of nausea and “pins andneedles” sensation, combined with a sort ofwhite noise in the ears of the Immortals.

In the context ofHighlander, it represents the knowledge andexperience gained from battles fought with otherImmortals, and manifests as a boosted skill level. Ina Cinematic Game, after a successful invocationof the Quality as described in WitchCraft, theImmortal adds his levels in Old Soul as a bonus toany skill he possesses. Using this Quality requiresconcentration and peace of mind, and thus it cannever be called upon during a duel. In EssencebasedHighlander games, the Quality functionsexactly as written. (due to copyright issues, Icannot reprint the Quality here, but WitchCraft isavailable as a free download athttp://www.edenstudios.net/witchcraft/).Sorcery (5 point per level Quality)This Quality is unaltered from that in the Buffythe Vampire Slayer Core Rulebook.
