Example Scenario

Dice Roll Results
- Trait Level: Intelligence 3 + Intuition 4
- Difficulty: 6
- Dice Roll Results: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3

Outcome
Seraphiel's touch sends a ripple of energy through Jordan's nerves. For the next few minutes, colors are brighter, sounds are clearer, and every sensation is intensified. Jordan's ability to capture the essence of their subject improves dramatically.
After the effect wears off, the Storyteller rolls Willpower for Jordan (Willpower 5, Difficulty 6): 10, 9, 8, 6, 2. Jordan succeeds in resisting any long-term effects and does not gain any penalties to their Perception rolls for the remainder of the scene.
