First Principles "Even objects have dreams."

1
Requires Seasoned
The power to discover details about an Object.
Used by Minerva McAlaster, Created by Polymorph.
(During Effect activation, you are obviously examining the target object. You must actively and obviously be using silver fox pendant.)

Minerva's understanding of the Dreamlands has deepened to the point that she can fully realize some of its more interesting secrets - even objects have dreams, for one thing. They often dream of themselves, doing their purpose, but also the areas they have found themselves in.

They require something, though, to enter their dreams, as the connection is more tenuous. Minerva always leaves a bit of herself behind forcing into them.
