Effect
By examining a corpse (10 minutes) or a living person’s wounds (1 minute), you can determine:
- The weapon type that caused the injury
- The approximate time of the wound
- The physical strength of the attacker (IRON rank, roughly)
- Whether Psionic effects were involved
Special
On a corpse, you can determine the cause of death and time of death within an hour’s accuracy. If the death was caused by a Veil-Born creature, you identify the creature type.
