This cantrip allows the diviner to discover the emotions and/or feelings of one or more subject whether alike in species or different within the area of the dweomer effect the cster merely expends additonal heka equal to each individual MRPow and the emotions feelings of those subjects within the area and in sight or perception of teh practitioner are discernable by the enabled empathy each single subject so read requires one BT time. If group of like subjects emotions feelings are to be so read the heka cost is paid for the highest individual MRPow in the group plus 1 point for each other subject for example a group of 12 humans are being scanned by the dininer . the highest MRPow in the group is 19 so that costs 19 Heka points teh other 11 individuals requre an added 11 heka points expenditure so a total of 30 points of additonal Heka is needed to descern the emotions /feelings of the whole dozen individual reading be sure to note that this applies only to associated individuals of like species acting as a group or associated for game purposes they must be witihin close proximitly of each other so that no member is more than the practitioner tens of STEEP IN FEET FORM ANY OTHER AN DALL ARE IN A CONTINGUOUS SPACE WITHIN THE AREA OF EFFECT .Good examples are a crowd of people a pack of wolves and a herd of elephants . The is apossble adjustment for screened emotions feelings screening gives false typically bland emmotinal reading . the caster suspicious of the use of screening to hide true emotions must use another BT time and expend additonal heka of discover if there is such a cover up occurring . To do this one subjec t only can be probed that one must be the one with the strongest MRPow in like group and teh cost is 1 additional heka point for each point of MRPow of the subject individual . in the example used above teh additonal Heka cost would be 19 points but that expenditure would allow the persona to read the subject true emotions and feelings .Simple creatures have only simple emotions feelings huner thirst contentment repletion drowsiness fear anger uncertainty dislike attracton couriosity play reproduction etc persoans hoever have the whole gamut of emotions and feelins all of the above plus anxiety love jealousy envy avaric and many many other s along with complex emotional motivators which can also be emotionally read. many of the undead have no discemable emotions feeelings other that those such as hatred hunger and the like of course while things without mental TRAIT have none whatsoever. Very alien creatures and beings from distant planes spheres are likewise impossible to read by means of this dweomer because their emotions and feelings are totally different from the ptactitioners over the course of several interactins with like types howwver diviner will be able to familliarize themselves with teh emotions feelings and following actions so as to perhaps gain some clue as to alien emotin feelings.
