This is not a hard and fast Magickal kind of ability, it is more like the capacity to assess a person’s character from their behaviour, the way the speak and carry themselves, how they apply their intellect and wisdom. The skill is penalised at first because one is unfamiliar with the subject, the modifiers to the characters TSC% are shown in the table below Read Character Modifiers. However over time with interaction with the subject of this skill, he takes in more clues and indications giving him enough to place piece of the puzzle together and garner an idea of their true nature. This growth in knowledge of the subject over time is reflected in the reductions of the penalties to the skill and then bonuses. At high skill levels even a cold read can give some useful information. The use of this skill is better suited for the use on NPC.
