Item Reading

Written by Salen

The Psion can touch an item and learn details of the object’s previous owner and what happened with it recently. Objects accumulate psychic impressions left by their previous owners, which can be read by use of this power. The amount of information revealed depends on what level of this power the Psion has; Minor or Major.

Minor

With the Minor power the Psion can learn the last owner’s race, gender, and age. They can also see the last three minutes of the item's use of that person. This takes 1 minute of holding the object for every day that has passed since this happened. If it has been over a year, the Psion can't get an readings.

Major

With the Major power the Psion can learn the above plus, How last owner gained and lost the object, Next-to-last owner’s race, and so on. They can also see the last six minutes of the item's use of that person. This takes 1 minute of holding the object for every month that has passed since this happened. If it has been over a year, the Psion must meditate with the object for 4 hours to see.

Effect

The item glows faintly while the Psion holds it.
