Tamriel Wolfsbaine Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 Life sense is sensing a persons innate investiture right? Drabs are unique in that they have even less than a normal human. We know this due to that drabs can't be sensed at all while normal humans can. When it talks about perfect life sense what does that mean though? In my mind I picture it like Marsh and Vin level seeking where they can pinpoint specific metals only you can sense people along with their level of innate investiture? Like beacons of light all around you perhaps? While someone with many more breaths would be a brighter beacon than one with less breaths? Could you see others using investiture at a time?? Would a mistborn be brighter than a misting or would a radiant filled with stormlight be brighter than a radiant with no stormlight inhaled? Would you sense a feruchemist with filled metalminds easier than one with no metalminds? Is it the potential for power that you sense or the power itself? Also would animals be enough of a living and invested being to trigger lifesense? I am curious of the benefits to lifesense vs being a seeker in allomancy. What would be more beneficial of the 2?

I'm unsure about this, as "normal humans" isn't really a thing in the cosmere. Drabs have a lower level of investiture than normal Nalthian people do, but normal Nalthian people have a higher level of investiture than a Scadrian or Threnodian or non-invested radiant. I'm not sure if one breath would let you sense a Singer or a non-radant Rosharan or or or. From what we know, Copperclouds and "standard" Aviar do very similar things. Could probably hide you from lifesense. I always imagined Lifesense as somewhat akin to that feeling when someone is watching you and you just kind of know. a kind of radar of sorts, some non-physical sense that feels that there's someone in your vicinity. I don't know if it is as precise as A-Bronze, it feels like it wouldn't be. Maybe a higher hightening would do that. 1
