This ritual turns a vampire into an undead polygraph. It is often used by Justicars to catch Diabolists. Once the short ritual is performed (requiring about five minutes), the vampire's senses become amazingly enhanced, allowing her to hear the slightest quaver in a person's voice, see the minute twitching of a liar's mouth, or notice how a liar's eyes blink too much.
Mechanics: True Sight only detects deliberate, willful lies. If the other party believes he is telling the truth, then what he says will appear to be true. The ritual detects the state of nervousness, not whether the truth was spoken.
In effect, the Thaumaturgist has an extra Subterfuge ability and five extra social traits, for the duration of the ritual, for the purposes of subterfuge challenges that they initiate. These traits may not be bid, but are added to the caster's total for purposes of comparison or overbid. They do not aid in subterfuge challenges initiated against the caster because the ritual does nothing to alter the Thaumaturgist's ability to hide their own reactions, nor the other person's ability to perceive the Thaumaturgist s actions. To indicate that this ritual is in effect, the player should get a card denoting the extra traits and the time cast from a storyteller.
