SVAJONE

Your wolf has gained a peculiar ability - they are able to discern information about an object simply by touching it. They feel something of a pull towards items, seemingly at random, and their touch yields a disorted array of sights, sounds or emotions associated with that object.

TIER RATING

This is a tier three ability.

 

STAGES

​

• STAGE 1: Beginning stage

Your wolf finds themselves strangly drawn to certain objects - usually items which have personal meaning to another, such as tokens or trinkets they have collected. It's like a pull, a string they feel an overwhelming need to follow, but they have no idea why.

 

• STAGE 2: Intermediate

Acquired by completing three pieces of artwork or roleplay that relate directly to your ability
Your wolf finds that when they touch the objects they feel drawn to, they see a sudden blinding white light, and feel a sensation of some kind of emotion connected to that object. They might sense a feeling of sadness if they touch the stone wall of a place where someone died, or happiness if they touch a trinket given to a wolf by their loved one. The feelings are fleeting, gone as soon as the flash of light fades, and quickly replaced by a migraine - so painful that your wolf must retreat into a dark place to rest.

 

• STAGE 3: Master

Acquired by completing a further three pieces of artwork or roleplay that relate directly to your ability.

As your wolfs' ability grows stronger, they are now able to see broken images or visions, and/or hear sounds, pertaining to the history of the object they have interacted with. While still fleeting in nature and difficult to interpret, the side effects previously experienced are much lessened. Your wolf can use this ability without pain, except in the case of an encounter with an object with a dark and negative history, which will result in a headache.

 

OVERALL RESTRICTIONS

This ability is passive and cannot be activated at will. The user cannot choose to see/feel a particular item, but rather is drawn to an item, seemingly at random. They are only drawn to one item at a time. They can come back to the same item several times but they cannot like-for-like replay the same encounter they had previously.

​

Unlike Sootheer, which may see snippets of the future, Psychometry can only see what has come before.

​

In terms of OOC mechanics: the player is permitted to use Psychometry as they desire in pursuit of their own personal plotlines. You are able to show your character experiencing disorted visions, sounds or emotions pertaining to objects and past events that you yourself control, or objects and events that other players have given you permission to interact with.

 

You cannot under any circumstances use this ability to discern group lore or history. That means, for example, your wolf cannot touch Remiel and see what happed there throughout history, or touch the Spire and see how it was broken, etc. Nor should you use this ability in a way which is consistent with metagaming, e.g. Malaysia touches Yetta's dismembered ear and can see a movie of Yetta's entire life up until that moment.

 

You may sometimes be contacted by staff and provided with an approved Psychometry encounter which pertains to the plotline.
