Read the strongest recent impressions on a touched object.
The psion touches an object and reads the strongest psychic impressions
left on it within the last 24 hours. Up to three impressions come through
as fragmentary sensory flashes: who held it, the dominant emotion of
the strongest recent moment, or a glimpse of the most violent or charged
event it witnessed. Impressions beyond 24 hours are faint and unreliable,
yielding at most a vague emotional tone. The power does not reveal
dialogue, spatial detail, or factual data like passcodes.

Notes
Effect: The psion touches an object and reads the strongest psychic impressions
left on it within the last 24 hours. The GM reveals up to three
impressions, which may include: the identity or description of the last
person to handle it, the dominant emotion of the strongest recent moment
involving it, a brief sensory flash of the most violent or charged event
it witnessed. Older impressions (beyond 24 hours) are faint and
unreliable, yielding at most a vague emotional tone. The power does not
reveal exact dialogue, precise spatial detail, or factual data like
passcodes; it conveys felt experience, not recorded information.
