Arcanum: Death
Practice: Knowing
Primary Factor: Potency
Suggested Rote Skills: Medicine, Investigation, Expression
The mage can determine the state of a corpse. She determines the exact method of its demise as well as exactly when it died.
For each level of Potency, the mage reveals contributing factors to the cause of death. For example, a man found burned in a car might have died from asphyxiation, but might have gotten that way because he was unconscious due to a head wound from crashing his car into a tree while driving drunk.
+1 Reach: The mage can witness the final moments of the corpse’s life just leading up to death as though seeing through the corpse’s eyes. Each rank of Potency reveals a minute of time prior to the corpse’s demise.
