- A cryptic clue related to the current plot

Special
Unlike Omen Reading (which asks specific yes/no questions), Read the Bones provides unsolicited narrative information. The GM has creative license with the symbolism. This Talent is the Seer’s primary tool for generating plot hooks and foreshadowing.
