Object reading is the ability to get visions of the past from an object. With a successful casting, she gains a vague impression of whatever information she’s looking for, from the object’s creation forward. A raise grants her more specific information.

If the caster uses object reading on a bloody knife to investigate a murder, for example, success might tell her the wielder was a human and that the attack happened at night. With a raise, she might get a glimpse of the killer’s face or some other clue that reveals his identity.

The caster may broadcast the vision, projecting it out into a space the size of a small room. Anyone present may see and hear the events and examine the projection from all angles.
