Through Mind 1, Spirit 1, or the Awareness Talent, or a combination of Life 1/ Prime 1, a mage can try to discern and read the aura – the life-energy halo that surrounds living and semi-living things. For a possible +1 on the difficulty, the character could try to read the auras of spirits or the undead as well.

Prime 1 may allow a mage to read a character’s Resonance and/ or Synergy signatures. For more about those energies and their manifestations, see the optional Resonance and Synergy
