Building a Magic Detector

[Edsel]

I am currently building a sanctum for my super-mage. I am locating the base in an extra-dimensional pocket. I am trying to design a magic detector into the base. I want the detector to detect magical disturbances anywhere on the earth. It would be similar to the X-Men's computer Cyrebro (sp?) that detects mutant activity world wide, except of course this would be geared toward magical phenomena. However, since the detector will be located in another dimension, I am confused about how to build it. Anybody got any ideas? Help!

It would seem your basic Extradimensional, plus either scads of Telescopic or (for those who dont want granularity with their powers) some megascale, on a Detect Magic, Discriminatory, Analyze ought to do the trick nicely...

My original thought on this was to buy it as a detect with megascale. However I cannot find an adder or advnatage that allows a detect to perceive another dimension. Below is the detection itself. But I do not believe that the way it is built would allow it to see across to another dimension.

Detect: Magical Disturbances A Class Of Things 11-, Discriminatory, Increased Arc of Perception: 360-Degree, Megascale (1" = 100000 km; +1 1/2), Can Be Scaled Down: 1" = 1km (+1/4) (47 Active Points); OAF Immobile (-2), Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12); -1 1/4) Cost = 11 Real Points.
I guess I could also buy Clairsentience for the base to allow it to use the magic detector but that seems pretty expensive. I've got the points for it if I have to go that route but it seems that there ought to be a cheaper way.

I think the Transdimensional Advantage will give your Detect the ability you're looking for: FREd p. 174. :)

Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for. I had searched everywhere I could find the word "Extra-Dimensional" but never thought to look under the letter "T".

The FAQ also has a Sense Adder, Dimensional. +5 for a single Sense, +10 for a Sense Group to sense into a single other dimension. +5 to sense a related group of dimensions. +10 to sense any dimension.

I made the same mistake looking for Extra dimensional instead of Trans dim...Would Danger sense with all the adders Lim:magical threats only do the job?
