It ain’t glamorous, but if you’re a mage, you need to learn how to track things down. This Skill helps you locate sources of information – public libraries, private archives, Internet searches, occult collections, verbal lore, and so forth – and then skim them for the information you seek. You might not find exactly what you’re looking for; some things can be found only in special places. Still, a successful Research roll can help you get on the right track, even if specific facts remain elusive… at least for now.
