All sorts of supernatural creatures like to call up rats as allies. Ratkin from rival packs, vampires with the Animalism Discipline, mages with the Ratstorm rate and Beast-Speaking Garou ate just a few examples. If a Shadow Seer runs into a rat who's been victimized by any of these Gifts, she can determine who is controlling the poor defenseless beastie. If she's powerful enough, she may even attempt to convince the rodent io disobey its master.
System
Once you've learned this Gift, you can sense whether a tat you encounter is possibly being controlled by another supernatural creature. Roll Gnosis; you must score more successes than your rival's initial roll for his supernatural 'power,' whether that's a Discipline, Sphere, Gift, or what-have-you. You will even gain a brief glimpse of the rival who's been manipulating the poorcrittet. If you succeed, you can also overpower his ability, but only if your Rank is the same level or higher than the power that's used. Make a second roll of Manipulation + Primal-Urge (difficulty 7); you must have more successes than your rival's initial roll.
