IIRC, can't the "Morganti feeling" be hidden when it's in its sheath? 
I'm thinking of Vlad telling Kragar he needs some Morganti weapons,
strong enough to be noticeable when unsheathed, but not so strong that
anyone would notice when they're sheathed.

I don't remember any suggestion that psionics or sorcery is affected by
whatever's being looked for as being behind or under anything (stone
walls, etc.) - so would that mean that Morganti weapons are totally
different from psionics or sorcery, or just that Morganti weapons don't
'wake up' unless they're unsheathed?
