[quote][color=#eac6ae][b]Rift Reading  ⫻[/b][/color] Kari’s newest spell is barely a spell at all—more like an accidental extension of Boundary Disturbance that she is trying to repeat on purpose. By focusing on a rift or a place where reality feels damaged, she can sometimes pick up scattered impressions from the fracture: pressure, direction, emotional residue, red afterimages, warped space, or the faint sense that something passed through recently. However, Kari has no idea what the other side actually is, what the Pit is, or whether the information she receives is even reliable. Most of the time, the spell gives her fragments without context, leaving her unsure if she is sensing a real pattern, leftover fear, magical interference, or her own panic reflecting at her. At this stage, Rift Reading is borderline useless as a practical tool; it cannot explain, predict, close, or safely identify rifts. All it does is tell Kari that something is wrong in a slightly more specific way than before. It will require repeated experimentation before she can turn those broken impressions into anything useful.[/quote]
