Description

Oskar quickly sketches a ritual circle around the object, or inscribes a circle on a large object. He places the object on top of an empty notebook inside the circle and the object tells its story, to be read inside the notebook.

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 Intellect + Occult ( dice) 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

User Manual (You learn the object's intended function and how to use it for its intended purpose. This does not grant skill.)
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.)
Cantrip (Activating this Effect has no Exertion cost, but it can have no more than 3 Drawbacks and its Gift Cost can never be increased above 2.)
Manifest (You gather information about who has used this object recently. Usually the information comes in the form of a visual description, but it could be a scent, a factoid about the individual, etc)

Drawbacks

Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
- Object - Chalk diagram
Fuel (Using this Effect consumes some material good in addition to its other costs.)
- Fuel Unit - An empty notebook
Focused Investigation (You learn only one type of information about the target per use.)
