You can see and communicate with the souls of the recently departed.
Prerequisite: Wisdom 12, must have had a near-death experience (that is, must have fallen below 0 hit points).
Benefit: You can see the spirits of creatures who have died within a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom bonus. For instance, if your Wisdom is 17 (+3 bonus), you can see the spirits of creatures that have died within the past 3 minutes. You can speak with these spirits, but you gain no special ability to command them or to communicate with them if you do not share a language. These spirits are not creatures per se and cannot be harmed or affected in any way, magical or otherwise.
In addition, you gain a +4 circumstance bonus on Listen or Spot checks made to detect incorporeal creatures.
