When you learn this power, you select one type to add to its type that represents a type of light or other energy such as electricity, radio, sonic, etc. The target becomes tuned into these forces, able to "hear" and "see" them and understand them if they're translatable in any way. For example, they could hear radio broadcasts without a radio device, see and read phone signals without a phone, and smell signals running through the air, detecting concentrations of broadcasts and signals. Whenever such things exist within range of the target's senses, they get a Perception roll to notice them and can attempt to decipher them as one could normally due with a device designed to receive the signals.
Tier 2 The target can also broadcast their own signals as if they were a broadcasting device, but their signal range is limited to Long range. They add this ability's tier as a competence (insight) bonus to checks made to detect, decipher, decrypt, or encrypt these signals. Note that even if the user's signal strength is limited to a certain range, receivers can bounce and relay signals on networks much farther if such a network exists within range.
Tier 3+ The target's broadcast range increases to 1 mile. Each additional tier increases this by a multiple of 10, to 10 miles at tier 4, 100 miles at tier 5, 1,000 miles at tier 6, etc.
