Legacy Power: Price of the object
This better not be a bomb.
A 1 Gift Investigate Object Power used by Jules, created by loroman1211.
Description
The Gods of Ancient Egypt are renowned for their treasures. By holding or touching an item with one hand & making mystic passes with the hand bearing the Seal of Nephthys, Jules may invoke the Goddess to learn who values it, where it has recently been, & the presence of magical influence.
System
Exert your Mind, target an Object within Arm's Reach and spend 1 Minute examining it. At the end of the cast time, roll Dexterity + Thievery Difficulty 6. The quality of the information you receive depends on your outcome, and the nature of the information depends on the Enhancements you have chosen.
The number of information-revealing Enhancements attached to this power is limited to 2 for Novice Contractors, 4 for Seasoned Contractors, and 7 for Veteran Contractors. You may still take any number of other, non-informational Enhancements.
Enhancements

- LoJack (You can discern where this object has recently been. This may be in the form of GPS coordinates, a visual description of the surrounding area, or something else.)
- Alien Origin (Determine if this target is Alien in origin or whether it has any Alien energy or outside influences. You receive information about the type of energy, including the name of the relevant Source pool or equivalent.)
- Sentimental (You may learn how much sentimental value an object has and to whom)
