The mage can see into the past of a subject, witnessing events as though she were physically present to view them.
By default, the caster may only view Unchanged subjects, but with Time •• she may view the more distant past, in which case the spell is Withstood by temporal sympathy.
The mage views the subject in “real time” from a moment declared when casting until the Duration of Postcognition expires.
While viewing the past, the mage loses all Defence and may not take any actions or cast further spells.
+1 Reach: The mage can “scrub” the vision like a video, speeding it up, slowing it down, rewinding it, pausing it, etc.
+1 Reach: The mage remains aware of her surroundings, and does not lose Defence.
