Cost: 10m Target: Template:Black ceramic coin

The sorcerer spits into her palm and conjures into her hand a black ceramic coin inscribed with arcane sigils. She can place the coin where she likes. Thereafter, she can concentrate and perform a miscellaneous action to project her consciousness to the coin (Speed 5, DV reduced to 0 for the duration of the projection). She sees, hears and smells everything as if she stood at the coin's location. If the coin is in a pocket, pouch or container with at least one opening, she can sense the environment both inside and outside that container. She senses only the inside of a container that's completely enclosed, such as a strongbox. As they occupy the coin's vicinity, her senses are identical to her senses in her body, and she may benefit normally from all sense-enhancing Charms. Because she cannot project her sense of touch, she knows instantly if her body is shaken or injured. The sorcerer instinctively knows the distance of her senses from her body and the direction to the coin. She can find the coin just by traveling toward it, concentrating periodically to discover if it has moved. A sorcerer may have only one coin of distant vision at a time. To create a new one, she must first concentrate a moment to reduce her existing coin to dust. Doing so is a miscellaneous action identical to projecting her senses, but it costs five motes of Essence. The coin of distant vision functions as an arcane link to the sorcerer if someone discovers it, but the dust does not.
