Description
An echo-pulse along the target's lifeline gives the relative distance to its birth and its death; knowing the subject's age, the caster can compute the remaining lifespan with fair accuracy. At 6th and above this is instant knowledge of age and remaining life with no arithmetic. Contact must be maintained throughout the casting, so the subject must be willing or unable to resist. The is an unblemished silver weight on a 1-ft silver chain, replaced each casting. DM note: prior or future travel on Temporal Prime truncates the reading.
