Let the Mage be especially adept at raising and directing energy.
He shall then select the object which he wishes to Read.
Let him drive away all other distractions as he concentrates upon that object. Note that he shall *not* enflame himself before performing this exercise.
The Mage shall then proceed to draw the energy from said object, and allow impressions to arise unbidden in his mind. These he shall then interpret when the last images have flown through him.
