The abilities of the Sighted have a genetic component that is related to the partial [[singer]] ancestry of the [[Unkalaki]].{{wob ref|930}} Singers seem to be innately capable of seeing the true Physical Realm forms of lesser spren,{{book ref|sa4|48}} although their abilities may not extend to true spren.{{book ref|sa4|38}}{{book ref|sa4|44}} Lunamor has implied that he was born with his abilities,{{book ref|sa1|21}} although he also hints at the [[Horneater Oceans]] being somehow involved.{{book ref|sa2|46}} It may be possible for other people with singer ancestry (such as [[Herdaz]]ians) to be Sighted,{{wob ref|3420}} but this has not been observed. The ability seems quite rare, as it is not well-known to most Rosharans,{{book ref|sa4|15}} and may be limited to Lunamor's extended family.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}}
==Trivia==
* [[Zahel]] is able to see spren, but this is presumably due to his high level of [[Heightening]].{{book ref|sa4|15}}
* [[Lift]] is able to both see{{book ref|sa4|41}} and touch spren,{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} but she is not known to have Unkalaki ancestry; her ability likely comes from the [[Old Magic]].
* The planned novella ''Horneater'' will explore several Unkalaki traditions, including the Sighted.{{wob ref|14063}}
