Mercurian Game Mechanics

The Mercurians' resonance is for politics. Properly focused, this resonance can provide an immediate understanding of the perceived social standings of anyone within a number of yards equal to the angel's Forces. An exceptionally perceptive Mercurian will also know what most people call the subject (not necessarily his real name) and what relationships he maintains -- friends, family, etc.

Compare the check digit of a successful resonance invocation to the chart below. The effects of a Mercurian's resonance will last for 10 minutes minus 1 minute for every point of the successful roll's check digit. A Mercurian who successfully invokes his resonance with a high check digit will be precisely attuned to invisible social relationships for a brief period of time, while another angel whose check digit was very low will be tuned less precisely but for much longer.
