Soul sense is definitely a worthwile shaman ability, but maybe it could be a bit more useful?
Currently it tells you the alignment of things you can see, and tells you if there is anything you can't see in the room, and a vague sense of the cumulative 'power' of each alignment.
The Kitchen
[Exits: west]
A small white fountain gushes forth here.
Silonch is here.
Silonch feels like Death.
All is not what it seems...
* A hidden sense of malevolence is existent *
Silonch utters the words, 'uizug'.
Silonch fades out of existence.

The Kitchen
[Exits: west]
A small white fountain gushes forth here.
All is not what it seems...
* A hidden sense of malevolence is strong *
Instead of seeing the cumulative senses, It would be nice to see individual ones:
The Kitchen
[Exits: west]
A small white fountain gushes forth here.
All is not what it seems...
* A powerful malevolent soul is here *
* A malevolent soul is here *
Then, perhaps it would be possible to cast the spell directed at one of the souls, to gain extra information, or a new 'soul communion' spell, maybe shaman level 20 could be created. If cast on a mob, things revealed could include a keyword, hp and mana remaining, approximate level, how they cast, if at all, and whether the animal flag is set. If on a pc, name, hp and mana, approximate level, some indication of debt or pk classification and classes could be known. Some or all of the information could be revealed on a single casting.
A possible example:
The Kitchen
[Exits: west]
A small white fountain gushes forth here.
All is not what it seems...
* A powerful malevolent soul is here *
* A malevolent soul is here *
> cast communion 2.soul
The soul thinks of itself as 'Silonch'. It is:
* less powerful than you.
* in perfect health.
* evil.
* immersed in magely knowledge.
