Traces are memories seen during a session of Shadow Reading. They are sensed when the reader touches a token of the missing person or object.
Memo[]
Shadows of the past, seen when shadow reading. Through contact with a token of the lost person or object, a person possessing psychic abilities can sense its trace, showing them where to go.
People with particularly strong abilities will see the form of their quarry, and not just a shadow.
The traces will attract malevolent ghosts, so it is dangerous to spend too long gazing at them. Yet another risk lies in following the trace of a person who has already died or has been spirited away, as you may be inadvertently following them into the world of the dead.
