It is one purpose of the Tepeln priest to ensure that any soul is given to Tep and is not allowed to be taken by a devil or other evil entity. On the battle field or when searching for undead it is advantageous to be able to tell dead from dying and the living. The purpose of this Manc is to give the user the ability to sense death nearby.
The user can 'feel' when death, that is a creature of cat-size or larger is within Range of the Manc. Undead is always detected regardless of its size, although it does not detect all forms of incorporeal undead. It will not detect an undead spirit that is not connected with the Plane. That is, it can not detect spirits of the dead or those udnead forms just outside of reality, including possessed victims or things. It can detect manifested incorporeal spirits and undead, and any rotting possessed physical forms.
The sense does not allow the user to track specifically, but the user can feel the strength of the death and ' close' or 'distant' of the death. A large open burial pit, for example would be a strong sense, and a single corpse underfoot, would be a 'close' death. The maximum range of the sense is equal to the level of the caster x 100 feet. Those dead that reside in cemeteries or tombs are sense, but the user knows there is a difference of sensation and can tell it is entombed or blessed. Un-blessed burials also feel different to the user.
Once the Duration ends the sensation fades almost instantly. The user can continue to Sense Death until the Duration ends, regardless of the number of dead they may have sensed.
Banish Manc on the user will remove their ability to sense the dead. The user can determine not to sense death while the Duration is active and come back to the sense at any time, up to the point of the Duration ending.
