Spell-A-Day: Sense Truth

Sense Truth

This blessing bestows the target with the ability to separate falsehood from truth in any communication she hears. The target may not understand what is being communicated, but the target will know whether that is truth or not. Use of the blessing does require an INT Roll, which is reduced by -1 per point of Power Defense (vs. Magic) active on the speaker.

Spell-A-Day: History

History

This blessing allows the channeler to witness events in the past. The channeler makes a PER Roll to see 1 year in the past from where she is, or with a single object. More recent history increases the bonus, while greater distance in the past increases the penalty per step on the Time Chart. While the blessing continues (each step on the Time Chart requires a Blessing Continuance Roll), the channeler can explore the history using any skills she possesses.
