Description and lore
A living presence reaches toward the spirit within or beside another being.
Spirit Touch is the close counterpart to a distant haunting: a palm offered rather than a voice raised across a room.
The caster listens for an answering impression, offering recognition before expecting a reply.

Effect - Resolution: Invoke + Spirit versus Ward + Spirit only when the target resists contact.
Effect - Defense: Ward + Spirit for an unwilling spirit or host; a willing target may allow contact.
Effect: on success, the caster senses whether a spirit is present and may exchange one brief thought or sensation with a willing, aware spirit. The spell does not force an answer, read memory, remove possession, heal Resolve, animate a corpse, or guarantee that a dead spirit is available.
Duration: instant contact and one brief exchange.
Ending or recovery: no special cooldown.
Exception: Pneumancy concerns spirit; later ranks may address death, communion, possession, exorcism, and spiritual repair without making this school synonymous with death.
Your presence brushes the unseen spirits beyond ordinary perception.
Your hand rests against the old vessel; you wait for an answering presence.
