Touch of Composition (Ritual of Knowing)

It grants insight into the physical composition and structure of the target. Material it is made of, how it’s mined and or made, tools needed for crafting and process. Explanation is one thing, understanding is different. Multiple rituals may be required, as it only reveals one level beyond the subject’s current state. Thus analyzing a body would yield knowledge of its component systems, analyzing a specific system would yield knowledge of the component organs, analyzing a specific organ would yield knowledge of its component cells, and so forth. All knowledge gained is still subject to the magus’s frame of reference.

As with all Major Rituals of Knowing, the object or target of the ritual must be in physical contact with the ritualist; part of the ritual is to handle, examine, use (including a [single] charge, if the item is rechargeable) and the ritualist must be able to envision the three dimensional aspects of the object. Typically, the ritual involves the pressing of the object the face or head of the ritualist – lifting forth knowledge of the target’s composition and placing it in their mind. The Major Rituals of Knowing have strict requirements, but keep the Ritualist completely safe from any backlash or draining of the item examined that would normally be applied for Simple Identification. The ritualist becomes Attuned to the target momentarily and breaks it if a backlash is detected.

Powers/effects that manifest this are capable of discerning Marks of Impact from such things as taints and corruptions of the target’s Aura.
