You gain historical vision in a given location. Rooms, streets, tunnels, and other discrete locations accumulate psychic impressions left by powerful emotions experienced in a given area. These impressions offer you a picture of the location's past. The types of events most likely to leave psychic impressions are those that elicited strong emotions: battles and betrayals, marriages and murders, births and great pain, or any other event where one emotion dominates. Everyday occurrences leave no residue for the manifester to detect. The vision of the event is dreamlike and shadowy. You do not gain special knowledge of those involved in the vision, though you might be able to read large banners or othen writing if they are in your language. For example, you manifest sensitivity to psychic impressions in the nave of a shattered chapel. The vision you gain is: A mob of terrified parishioners flees the chapel through front and side doors, and even through windows. Meanwhile, a demonic presence bursts through floor of the nave and systematically begins to desecrate the former holy site. The primary emotion noted by you is terror. You can sense one distinct event per round of concentration, if any exist at all. Your sensitivity extends into the past a number of years equal to 100 x or 1000x your level.
