PhysAd power "Magic Sense" (MitS p150).

What does this let the Adept detect?
Does it work the same as the Spell "Magic Sense"?
Is it always active like any other "sense" the adept has (i.e. sight,
hearing, ect)?
How would you deal with a masked active focus? Normal target number +
Grade or must pierce mask first?

This lets the adept detect any magical energies within the range of
the power.

Check against the assensing results table - the more successes,
the more information. Typically, they'll get a class and maybe a
force rating.

Yes, it would be permanently active. No reason for it not to be.

Resolve the masking at the same time as making the perception
test.
