Effect Once per day the caster can receive guidance from their patron on the ideal path to pursue. This should be treated as if the caster rolled a Critical Success on a Gather Information from a source with relevant knowledge. At Rank 5 the caster gains a second use of this power.

Examples:

  • The channeler is trying to seek a known criminal in a large city, but the criminal has evaded all attempts to catch them. At a dead end the channeler casts Epiphany, gaining the guidance from their patron to investigate the Rusty Knife Tavern in the lower district. The caster may not know why this guidance is relevant, but may trust his patron, and seek to investigate the tavern, finding that the criminal has friends there who have been hiding him from the law.
  • The channeler is battling a terrible creature that seems immune to harm. The party is falling fast, and the channeler casts Epiphany for guidance. The spell suggests attacking the creature with fire, a previously unknown vulnerability.
