Bone-Song

Hum to Fold-resonance; each round learn nature of one touched object or creature.

The psion hums a low Fold-tune to themselves, listening to the resonance it pulls from nearby objects and creatures. Each round of concentration, they may inspect one object or creature within touch range and learn: approximate age, whether it has ever been held by a sapient creature, whether it carries Fold-taint (and how concentrated), and (on Power Check by 5+) a single factual detail the GM considers truthful about the object's history or the creature's recent past.
