  • Communication

You touch an object and see visions of its past, from its making onward. On a success you get a vague impression related to what you're seeking.

Delivery restriction (Touch): this spell can be cast only with Touch.

Optional Modifiers

  • Projection (+2): Project the vision into a space about the size of a small room, so others can see, hear and examine it from different angles.
  • ★ Remote Scan (+4): Change the delivery to Remote (standard 30-foot increments). [School Mastery, 5+ ranks]

Critical Success

You get clearer, specific details: faces, names and context (GM's call).
