 ===== Visual ===== ===== Visual =====
 The visible spectrum for takmar mostly overlaps with that of humans, although the takma eye is able to perceive some near-infrared wavelengths that the human eye cannot. Takma vision is, however, much more sensitive to low-light conditions due to the presence of a //[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapetum_lucidum|tapetum lucidum]]// in the eye. Takmar have forward-facing eyes with binocular vision, and therefore capable of depth perception. The visible spectrum for takmar mostly overlaps with that of humans, although the takma eye is able to perceive some near-infrared wavelengths that the human eye cannot.

-A distinctly nonhuman sense that takmar employ is [[concept:empathic-sense|empathy]]: the ability to psionically detect the state of feeling of another being. This sense can pick up some finer shades of feeling but is most sensitive to the most primal: hunger, fear, arousal, weariness. This sense can perceive direction, but has no "depth perception"; that is, there is no way to distinguish between a weak signal close up and a strong one at the limits of detection, except with the assistance of the other senses and by deduction.+A distinctly nonhuman sense that takmar employ is [[concept:empathic_sense|empathy]]: the ability to psionically detect the state of feeling of another being.

 Its sensitivity depends on the strength of the feeling, the distance at which it originates, and the capacity of the mind for feelings; in general, the smaller the organism and the less complicated its brain, the weaker the signal is. For practical purposes, the limit of detection is 15 meters or so from the takma's head for other takmar and for many types of land prey, but less for fish; insects are barely detectable except at very close range. Its sensitivity depends on the strength of the feeling, the distance at which it originates, and the capacity of the mind for feelings; in general, the smaller the organism and the less complicated its brain, the weaker the signal is.
