Touch of Operation (Ritual of Knowing)

Operating procedures associated with the primary purpose of the target; All the basic functions of the object and how to implement them are learned. If the object requires a phrase, code, particular button configuration or similar, that is learned. The ritualist does not gain any level of skill with the target object, however.

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.
