Effect
Touch an object and see a vision of the last intense emotion or violence associated with it. Vision quality scales with the Margin of your Channeling roll:
| Margin | Vision Quality |
|---|---|
| 0–2 | Vague impressions (fear, anger, love) |
| 3–5 | Clear images (faces, locations) |
| 6–8 | Full scenes with audio |
| 9+ | Complete understanding of context |
Steps

Special
Also called Psychometry. Hindsight (R1) reads location memory; Object Reading reads object memory. The two complement each other — a knife from a murder reads under both, but reveals different details.
