SkunkyArt | sirdubdub — SH NPC: Luis Tucapel

Luis must have a clear mental image of the object in question. Descriptions, drawings, photographs, etc are helpful. The more detailed and accurate, the better. The path requires less concentration to generate.

Additionally, the visibility of the path varies depending on the target object’s subjective importance to the “owner”. A generic clothespin will produce a faint, nearly invisible path, while treasures of extreme sentimental (not monetary) value produce paths that glow vibrantly in the night. Luis must be made aware of the object’s significance to the “owner” in order to have this effect (he ain’t a mind reader)

Objects become more difficult to track the longer they are separated from the “owner”, with things being lost for less than a day typically easier to find, while the paths for objects lost for up to three days are next to impossible

He can track a particular object up to three times in a night. If his concentration is broken a third time, the path disappears and the connection cannot be re-established. He can try up to three times in a night to find the point of separation where the trail begins (“Where did you last leave your wallet? Are you sure?”)

The closer Luis gets to the target object, the brighter the path becomes, but long treks across the city will quickly wear him out.

Being an aquatic sybal, Luis can track a path through water (although this is more difficult), but a trail will completely disappear if an object becomes airborne for any reason (Luis has definitely jumped off of buildings forgetting he cannot fly before)
