Another old idea of mine.
 * Name: Psychometry
 * User(s): A Hunter that I've been developing.
 * Type: Likely Psychic
 * Short description: Users learn about the history and details of an object through physical contact.
 * General limitations: Well for one, it doesn't work on living (or dead) beings. Another point is that it can only work on one target at a time. users might also suffer mental backlashes if they try to extract a shitload of information in a short amount of time. This ability might also require a lot of concentration. As such, it might be possible for a Grimm or other type of enemy to sneak up on them.
 * Visual effect: The user's hand and eyes may glow, the former having "veins" of light appear on them. The object in turn might also have this.
 * Passive ability:  None
 * Active ability(: Users will "download" the history of the object. They can see and hear things that occurred in the past. They can see anything close to it pretty clearly, but anything a yard or two away will pretty much be a blur. Sound works in a similar manner, with it being muffled up after a certain distance.
