Mood Rings

As it shimmers a shade between purple and blue, a silver bead rolls in a figure-eight, swirling the liquid inside the rounded jewel.

One shows the wearer's mood (the reader).
It's counterpart reads/mimics the first (the receiver).
The duo works over any distance.

Many beings are able to hide their true emotions on the outside. But the Koujin Tear and Mythical Bi (fire) tap the ki of the person - to see the spirit. How one uses the information gleaned from the knowledge of another's moods could be for good or ill.

A spouse wanting to better understand an extremely introverted partner's moods could be invaluable for a troubled relationship.

On the other hand, forcing someone to wear the reader ring during an interrogation could be considered too intrusive.
