Due to this trait, all Dwarf characters start the game with an additional (fourth) Belief. This Belief must come in the form of an oath, and represents a pre-game bond between the Dwarf an one of his relationships. Oaths that pertain to the situation in play fill one of the standard three Belief slots. Acceptable oaths are: the soldier's oath: \"I owe Burri a debt of honor;\" the uncle's: \"I swore to recover the crown for my brother;\" the prince's vow: \"My father's last words were to rule wisely; this I swore;\" and the drunk promises his wife: \"I vow never to go near the beer again.\" Yes, the requirements of an oath mean a Dwarf character must start with a relationship."

Test Perception: high power magic (major miracles, Mjolnir, the Burning Wheel, Ob 10 spells, Strength 10 spirits, etc.), Ob1; moderately-powered magic (minor miracles, Ob 5 spells, a risen corpse, the Belt of Flying, Dragon Slaying Sword, Spirit Weapons, Strength 5-spirits), Ob 5; low power magic (Red Spectacles, Bless/Curse, Ob 2 spells, Strength 2 spirits etc.), Ob 8. If successful, the character knows the item, person or effect is magical. He doesn't know exactly what the magic does. Second Sight is one of the abilities that allows a character to use the Aura Reading skill. See the Aura Reading skill in this book for obstacles. Second Sight allows the mage to FoRK Aura Reading into Sorcery or Summoning (so long as he is using his sight). Second Sight turns Perception into Observation for detecting Stealthy or Inconspicuous characters. Any physical actions taken (running, jumping, fighting, etc.) while using Second Sight suffer a +1 Ob penalty."
