Deepsight
An ability originally thought to be developed by one of the rare Trollish mages, Ivan Trollsky, Deepsight is the mystical ability to gain insight from an inanimate object or a location by receiving postcognitive flashes of historically or emotionally significant events.
Effect
Deepsight allows the user to focus on a particular node of emotional or historical significance and briefly glimpse the event as if he or she were there, from the center point of the object or location.
The further "back" the event, the more difficult it is "see." Most users of this ability are only able to get clear images from as far back as a few days. Older information typically come as vaguely unusable flashes. Also, areas of numerous unrelated events that are close together can blur, distort, or disrupt the image rendering it useful to all but the most highly skilled.
Side/Secondary Effects
Some images impress themselves upon the user's mind, causing them to believe that they were there. The effect usually fades over a period of time.
Discovery
Ivan Trollsky, a rare trollish mage and Loremaster of considerable ability, is thought to have discovered this technique.

Applied Restriction
This spell discipline is not smiled upon broadly by the SCU, though most are not sure why. Perhaps it is because it was developed by a troll or is difficult for non-trolls to master
Indeed, it's not readily known that Trollish Loremasters, with their unique training on information storage and processing, are able to make use of this ability to search decades back. It is rumored that there have been trolls that are unlimited in their reach, though this is highly unlikely.
