Probably works best if you've also bought spirits as allies.

H17's "Visual" enhancement on medium only costs 5 points (50% of 10) compared to the 15 points that See Invisible (Ghosts) would cost and there's some clear overlap...

Perhaps the "while communicating with them" caveat is more limiting than See Invisible? Not sure what the parameters of that would be, like "I need to be hearing them talk" or "they need to be hearing me talk" ?

If we assume that See Invisible has unlimited sight range then inheriting some kind of 'communication range' from medium would explain why Visual would cost less.

Manifestation has a 1-yard range for example, so maybe it's See Invisible with a 1-yard max for +50% ?
