Fire Sight: Spectral Lens Just Lookin!

2
The power to discover details about an Object.
Used by Eddie Boom, Created by bubblesmctroubles.
(This Effect is not obviously Alien when used. During Effect activation, you are obviously examining the target object. )

An invisibly thin veil of plasma glazes over your eyes as you analyze the object. Witnesses will perceive you as examining the object normally.

Seems like those college courses taught you something after all! You are able to interpret the spectral patterns objects emit through scientific knowledge and analysis. Thus, you are able to detect more in depth info on the chemical composition of the object and other such fine details. Customized for Eddie Boom's scientific mind, scholastic experiences and fire-elemental nature.
