Detect the Unliving
One of the simplest abilities of any Entropomancer, their inherent connection to Lobhadh allows them to reach out into the Aether, and search all about them, feel out the auras of those beings and creatures in their presence and tell for sure, with absolute certainty, which ones are natural beings, following the natural law of things, which ones have some amount of Lobhadh within them that they could manipulate and touch, and which ones do not. Those that lack it, or have far to much of it......well they do not belong here. They are not naturally part of the weave of the material reality.
Effect
Basic Effects: Weaving ever so slightly your own subtle strands of Lobhadh to increase your own sensitivity to the presence of the manna of Entropy, you 'peer' into the Aether with your own necrotic sensibilities, seeking to detect the barest presence of Lobhadh upon those creatures and beings all about you. Standing out clearly in the Aether to you when you choose to take a split second to use this sense during the duration as a free action, or in the moment of the initial casting as well, constructs, nightmares, and the restless dead, though for different reasons. Constructs and Nightmares both lack any presence of Lobhadh at all, and as such appear as empty black shadows to your sensibilities. Whereas the restless dead are naught but Lobhadh, and appear as a sickly pulsing purple spot, twisted and confined, unable to disappate or change state as should be the natural flow of Entropy, always.
For the duration of the spell-form, as a free action, you can check the sense again, getting new readings around you of any creatures or beings whom were perhaps not initially in range.

Manifestation
"Watching the Aether, Carlyle subtly tilted his head, stretching his neck, as his fingers worked slow, careful, precise motions, allowing his senses to hone in that 'inbetween place' He kept his eyes moving as he watched the people in the market, knowing his prey was around, sensing the foul, corrupted and rotten presence of a being of the restless dead. Watching the busy market, his eyes always active, as he nursed the mug of bitters at the table of the cafe, cowl pulled low. Another moment, he checked again....there she was. A woman shopping the stalls of fresh cuts just one building down, in the Aether her body exuded Lobhadh from every pore. If this wasn't the Drakir, this would be at least a bloodspawn, and would lead him to the vampire itself."
