Sensing is the ability to locate a person that is alive, anywhere in the world. However, sensing doesn't work if the person is dead.

This ability is very common among angelic beings, such as Whitelighters. However, many other magical beings both good and evil also possess it.

OverviewEdit

Sensing A ChargeEdit

"I hear those voices, I feel that pain all the time."

—Leo to Piper.^[src]

Whitelighters and Cupids have the ability to locate their charges, anywhere in the world. However, their power will not work if a charge is dead or is in the Underworld.

Their sensing power also allow their charges to communicate with them simply by calling out their name. However, this is a one way connection, they can only hear their charge speak.

It also allows them to instantly hear a charge's inner call whenever the charge is in immediate danger, which is, more often than not, life-threatening. However, they can put charges on mute when they want to, just like Chris did when he heard Phoebe calling for him.

Their sensing power also connects them to their charges on a physical level, they can sense their charges physical well being: for example; Leo once used his sensing power to sense Piper, and remaked that he could sense her courage.

VariationsEdit

Power SensingEdit

"I only have the ability to sense great powers, not possess them. That's how I found you, that's how I'll find Ramus."

—Arnon to Kevin.^[src]

Power Sensing is the ability to sense great in others. The only known being to possess this power was the demon Arnon. He used it to find Ramus, an Elder, and Kevin, a powerful witch and future Elder.

Shimmer SensingEdit

"We sensed your shimmer. You’re losing your touch."

—A Seeker to Cole.^[src]

The Seekers can sense other demons whenever they use their Shimmering power. However, they need to be close to where the shimmer took place. It's harder to track a demon in a cemetery.

Sensing EvilEdit

"I could always sense it. Before I suppressed my demonic self for Phoebe, I could sense how human killers form inside."

—Cole explaining to Leo his sensing powers work.^[src]

"You think you sense evil?"

—Leo to Paige.^[src]

Some Demons, such as Belthazor could sense certain evil or demonic qualities in mortals. A by-product of Paige Matthew's whitelighter ability to sense her charges is the ability to also sense evil.
