# Inspection Inspection is the close study of things others glance past. The ability to find hidden details in objects, texts, and environments through patient attention, a steady hand, and the kind of practiced curiosity that finds meaning in what most people dismiss. A Fell skilled in Inspection can uncover fine mechanisms in an artifact, spot the marks of a forgery, or identify features in an ancient ruin that everyone else walked by. It is the difference between holding an object and understanding it, between passing through a place and seeing what it was built to hide. In the Sphere, many secrets sit in plain sight waiting for the right set of eyes. Inscriptions that changed the course of empires. Hidden caches in walls worn smooth with age. A single detail that saved everyone in the room. Inspection is the art of paying close enough attention that the smallest thing becomes the most important one. > [!note] Example Skill Checks > > - Examine an artifact to identify hidden mechanisms or enchantments. > - Detect subtle signs of forgery in a document or seal. > - Find a concealed compartment in furniture, a chest, or a wall. > - Read faint etchings or runes to uncover a forgotten purpose.
