You possess the ability to communicate with humans.
Used by Lod Dorn, Created by LilDoomVil1.
(It is clear that you are communicating with the target. )

Lod, after his time in China, was able to understand how to commune with others, just as he was allowed to during his 4th contract by the cosmic powers-at-be. He can use his psychic powers to forcefully compress the information he is receiving, at an incredibly fast speed, which allows him to transform that knowledge into a form that is more easily digestible and understandable by Lod.

The bell charm acts as a channel for Kayleigh to give an immaterial spirit the slightest amount of form, upon when she reaches out and deftly grabs it before the spirit dissipates back into whatever realm it lives in. If she misses her grab on the spirit it decides to stay away from her for the future, making her unable to try to speak to it twice. Kayleigh's manual dexterity has become so incredibly refined that she can grab hold of even the immaterial.

  • You learn how heavily trafficked the area is, what sorts of Animate beings have moved through the area and when.
The quality and specificity of information gained depends on your Outcome.

This Effect is obviously Alien and eye-catching across its range to those witnessing it, and you are obviously the source.

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

  • 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.

  • Meat Shield: If you have successfully grappled a target, you may use a Reaction to redirect any incoming attack to them instead of you.
