[[spoiler:This sensation saves Oliver's life when he mounts an AssassinationAttempt against Demitrio Aristides: Demitrio defeats Oliver's Fourth Spellblade with the Fifth, but Oliver realizes a split-second before contact that he was facing another spellblade and pulls back just in time to avoid a deathblow.]]

* Magic in ''Literature/ADayOfFallenNight'' comes from either siden (geological activity in the earth) or sterren (the stars). Although the children of someone who imbibes either source (or both) don't have full magic abilities unless they also partake, they are granted a certain affinity for magical events. Glorian, a descendant of Galian [[spoiler:and Kalyba]], can sense the Dreadmount's eruption and can communicate with a mysterious figure in her dreams--as can her mother, who believes it to be Saint Galian. Dumai, whose mother drank the tear of a dragon, can speak with dragons telepathically. [[spoiler:Wulfert Glenn, the son of a Priory mage, is immune to plague and harder to kill by cold or fire.]]

Twilight’s pupils narrowed into fine points from the horror of the idea she had formulated. What if the spell cast was supposed to bring back Nightmare Moon? And what if it worked?!

* ''Fanfic/TriptychContinuum'': Each major pony race has a sense for the detection of magic called ''feel'', the quality of which varies by the individual (although some ponies can improve with practice). However, in reality, this actually works out to be three separate senses, as a pony can only pick up on the workings of their own race. Twilight's feel for unicorn magic is fairly acute, while Pinkie hardly ever registers even the strongest earth pony traces. The Princesses are presumed to possess all three versions. [[spoiler: ''She'' also has all three -- but only one at a time, and she doesn't know how to interpret some of the information]], leading to a degree of synesthesia.
