Stats
- Traditions: Flesh & Flame
- Cast: 1 action, 1 hand (blood pouch), 1 finger (to touch corpse)
- Range: Self
- Duration: 1 round
Effect
The caster places a hand upon a freshly departed body and steps into the corpse's final breath. For one round, the caster experiences those last moments from within the dead flesh. Any observer who later hears the tale will find the story twisted—every detail is subject to manipulation by the liar. The **painted walls** of the chamber remain pristine despite being two hundred years old, and the **ancient fixtures** bear no trace of decay. The vision ends abruptly after one round, leaving the caster shaken and the truth uncertain.
Heightened
The duration extends to two rounds, and the vision becomes crystal-clear. Even the most cunning liar cannot fabricate falsehoods under such pressure. The caster retains a fragment of the true experience long after the vision fades.
