Some psionicists are close to the spirits and can
gain information from them. Spirit lore is a risky
method of learning deeply-hidden secrets or
unraveling mysteries. The psionicist must ask very
specific questions when using this power; the
spirits will never volunteer information and often
seek to distort or confuse the truth.
When this power is initiated, the DM should roll
the power check in secret. The result of the
psionicist’s power check determines the quality of
the information he receives. However, no matter
what the result is, the DM should try to be
mysterious and vague in his answers. The spirits
possess a lot of knowledge about a lot of different
things and matters. But they are not omniscient.

6-7 |

If the result is a failure, the psionicist finds no
spirits to contact. The psionicist may ask one
question per round of the spirit world. A clever
character will cross-examine a spirit to determine
its truthfulness.
