Analyze Chi

Basic Action

You understand powers of the Chi Origin at a distance. You learn what power it is, who used it, when, to what effect, and an approximate power level.

You can analyze the properties of any power of this origin, even if it is used behind a wall, inside a container or otherwise separated from you. When you see a Chi practitioner fighting, you can use this to learn what powers they have, even ones they are not currently using, with Spot roll against their Maneuver.

Even powers that have ended leave a signature that can be analyzed, though the impressions fade; after the end of the scene, it is no longer possible to determine who used the power and its exact effect. The signature fades completely in a matter of days or weeks, stronger and more dramatic used leaving stronger impressions.

You can sense the presence and lingering aura of powers of other origins, but learn no details.
