· Seek 'n' Spell
(Player's Guide, pp. 171-172)
Use of this cantrip allows you to see the meaning behind any written text. You can read anything in any language, even tracts written with magical wards on them (although the magic of the ward will oppose the reader, as in the example under Weaver Ward). A new cantrip must be cast or each new tract read.
The subject matter of the text determines the Realm that must be applied. A book of medieval weapons written in Latin, for example, can be ready by someone using the Prop Realm. A Fae using the Nature Realm could decipher a manuscript on the flora of South America.
Changelings unsure if they have the appropriate Realm to use for this cantrip may make a Kenning + Perception roll (usually Difficulty 7, with higher penalties for Wards, etc.) to ken the general subject matter of the text.
System: The number of successes indicate how much information is gained from reading the tract.
1 success -- Vague understanding with few clear details.
2 successes -- Fairly clear understanding of the tract with only a few details.
3 successes -- Full understanding with all details coherent.
4 successes -- Complete understanding, as well as divining the subtext or any hidden meanings behind the text (any coded information is also revealed).
5 successes -- As above, and you can ask up to three questions about the author of the text.
