Open source p.45LEARNING is a measure of your education, as well as your ability to establish connections through logic and knowledge. When you need to know something about what is in front of you, you can make a LEARNING test to gain clues. Sometimes the Gamemaster will say that it requires books or other sources of information. In some situations, it is impossible to get any clues. You can use LEARNING to translate foreign languages, figure out how best to behave in a certain situation, or understand the workings of a mechanical device, an occult ritual, or a magic item. You can use LEARNING to obtain basic information about a vaesen if the Gamemaster deems it appropriate. By rolling more successes than required you can sometimes gain access to more information.

Gamemaster: You definitely recognize them. The man who kidnapped you and your mother when you were a child had lots of books with similar symbols. They are ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Several of them resemble those from his most precious text – the one he read that drove him insane and led him to do those terrible things.
