BUT! It also lets the other person see YOUR soul. How would you model THAT? Just a nuisance effect?
I don't know the source material so I could be way off. But I've gotten results similar to what you seem to be looking for by tinkering a little with Illuminated. That could cover the mutual Detect. Temporary Disadvantage (Easy to Read) could perhaps be worked in there somewhere to make Empathy mutual as well.
