Bloody Trails

2
The power to learn details about others.
Used by Charlie Blackstone, Created by Iamangelofwar.
(This Effect is not obviously Alien when used. During Effect activation, you are obviously interacting with the target. )

Charlotte takes a deep couple of deep inhales from the nose, almost as if she was smelling something off. At the same time her other senses flair, her eyes widen, her ears twitch, all things that make her completely take in the target, to follow their trail, or to observe them medically by taking in the minute sounds of their heartbeat, the scents of tumors or chemical imbalances, or just to observe signs of potentially infection.

Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. You may select a target at any range if you use up something that has been worn or used by the target to the point of having the scent of the target. At the end of your investigation, roll Perception + Animals at Difficulty 6.

You learn a single specific piece of information, chosen from the following list, about your target:

  • You determine any medical or physiological issues they have, as well as their species and a general overview of their biology.
  • The target’s trail for the past 24 hours is revealed to you and anyone you teach to follow it. This trail shows how long ago the target was there and is followable even when they are in a vehicle.

The quality and specificity of information gained depends on your Outcome.

You cannot investigate the same target more than once per day.

  • Tracker You are not made instantly aware of where they have been in the past 24 hours; you must follow their trail. You may "happen upon" any trail they have made in the past 24 hours.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Every individual's thoughts, feelings, their deepest secrets, while most believe that these things are only tangible in their own minds, the especially strong ones take a physical form in a mystical plane, one only visible to those talented in the magical arts. Through discussion, a skilled practitioner can illicit the physical manifestations of these thoughts and feelings, appearing in an ancient language that the practitioner must attempt to decipher in the moment, while still conversing with the individual, making this process only possible to the most skilled witches and warlocks who possess the sight. These runic pieces of text that encompass the secrets and desires literally emerge from the target's mouth as they speak, requiring a discussion to occur. Possession of this eye grants one the ability to constantly perceive the mystical plane, though this inhibits perception of the natural world.

Unlike some of Lyra's other powers, this one is completely unique to her bloodline and not a ritual that borrows the power of other higher beings. It was awakened through her experiences in contracts.
