Know Name
To know a thing a person must first know its name.  Human's have been giving names to things for thousands of years.  The user of this gift can tap into that cosmic registry to learn a person's name simply by looking at them.

The user rolls Charisma + Primal Urge difficulty the subject's permanent Willpower.  A single success is all that is needed to learn the name a person most commonly goes by.  Multiple successes reveal more of the person's true name, nicknames, and aliases. A botch, not only reveals a false name, but usually one the person will find offensive or insulting.

Supernatural creatures, which are used to hiding their true identities, subconsciously resist with a Wits + Subterfuge roll, difficulty equal to the gift user's permanent willpower.  Each success negates one of the user's successes.

This gift does not work on spirits.
