Effect Description

How can you know how someone else thinks if you can’t see what they see? This spell allows a Green & Purple Wizard to inhabit the perceptions of someone else.
Requires:
Green & Purple Apprentice
Literacy
Mystic: Cognoscente Magic
Inkling

X (Respite)
Long action “stunt: labor of remote viewing”
This spell requires that you have synecdoche with the target.
Roll your Mind & Will vs. the target’s Mind & Will. This is a synecdoche spell, so distance and line of sight don’t matter.
If you Tie or better, you can perceive what the target perceives. The duration is based on how well you rolled: for a Tie, about six seconds (one r und); for Success, about five minutes (one scene); for Overwhelming Success, indefinitely (but see below).
The spell also ends if you stop laboring to continue it, or if the target falls asleep.
You sense everything that the target does – sight, sound, smell, taste, temperature, pain, etc.
If you Fail, your spell doesn’t work, and you must Exhaust this Gift. You can’t recover it until the next Respite.. If you Overwhelmingly Fail or worse, not only must you Exhaust the Gift, but the target becomes aware of what you perceive for the next minute.
