As Haein is browsing through the library, he'll get the strange impression that he's not totally alone. Maybe the Librarian is spooking around and keeping an eye on him? He checks around, but locates them discretely chewing on the X volume of an encyclopedia from 1974. Guess it wasn't them?
Haein tries to ignore it and go back to his business, when suddenly a spirit just seems to... appear out of nowhere (pictured here on a horse though thankfully not on one in the library!). The spirit has a skull-shaped mask and billowing black robes, though there does not seem to be much underneath them. In fact, they're a rather intimidating figure, especially as they reach out suddenly with a skeletal hand and aggressively grab for Haein's arm.
Pulling his fingers open, the spirit deposits a smooth green stone into Haein's palm. With no explanation the spirit dusts past him and out of the library, leaving Haein to struggle with what the heck just happened. It takes him a bit to realize the gift he's been given. Whenever he tries to get the attention of a spirit when the stone is touching his skin, it's almost like they can't hear or see him.
It's not foolproof, more perceptive spirits will be able to notice him after a bit. Spirits with their wits about them will also know somethings Weird if he decides to use the stone when they already were aware of his presence. If the stone loses contact with his skin, spirits will notice him immediately, and are like to be startled if he sneaks up on them. It only seems to work for short periods of time, too — five minutes at the most, and likely less with a spirit that is more perceptive. Still, it could be handy to get out of a sticky situation.
