Focus: auspex
You learn the finer details of what you’re looking at. Scan target object. The focus displays its physical makeup (elements, compounds, etc.). You may nominate a substance and if it has that you immediately know. You may also know things such as the programming language of a program, a numeral system (octal, decimal, etc.), or even if it uses ternary.

Focus: the object of investigation
A lot of people hide files and folders behind mazes of files and folders. Some of us hide pages of books within the cover itself. You can find them. Nominate data (computer file, keywords, etc.) in a database. You find its storage location within the focus. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have access to it, you just know where to find it.

Focus: an auspex
Pretty simple, really. Detect a specified object (a hidden safe, a certain book of choice, a computer, etc.). If present, you will know where it is via the auspex. If the cypher ends before finding it, you won’t know its exact location anymore (unless you do). This can detect hidden objects so long as the activation roll is higher than the roll to hide the object.

You can find things out about someone by scanning them. You point the focus at a person and you will learn one of the following:
-The name they go by. You know whether or not this is their true name but if it isn’t you still have to learn that the hard way.
-One background of theirs and the value of said background.
-Their general state. Not their mood so much as their awareness of their situation. In danger, in financial distress, etc.
-Something about them that may be answered in a yes or no question. Examples include: “do they have x item?” “Are they on their way to x place?” “Are they an exalt?”
