Retrocognition
| Class | Psion |
|---|---|
| Name | Retrocognition |
| School | Clairsentience |
| Rank | 1 |
| Type | Utility |
| Brief | Perceive information about the past. |
You perceive the past as if you were present, reading the temporal residue of events left on a place or moment in time.
Rank 1: Recent Events
You perceive the most recent significant event in your vicinity (within roughly the last day, in a small area). You see and hear the event play out as a phantom replay, but cannot interact with it.
Rank 2: Temporal Rewind
You can rewind your perception of time within certain bounds--up to several days back, or, with extended ritual (one hour of meditation), up to several years back for a single specific moment. The further you reach, the harder it is to focus on a particular event; vague queries return vague visions.
(Note: an older Clairsentience power named Sensitivity to Psychic Impressions covers similar ground at rank 1; this Retrocognition entry expands the concept across both ranks.)
