Miracles leave traces, noticeable marks on the world, signs that the Power has been there. This trace can identify the Power that caused it, or at least their general nature. The Sight detects major magical effects in the very recent past as a Level 0 Aspect miracle. Detecting lesser magical effects, and being able to sense them for the duration of a scene, is a Level 5 Domain miracle of Major Divination. In both these cases, the Auctoritas of the Power who performed this effect will make detecting these traces harder, as if the Power themselves were still there.

The Witch Hunt Rite is a recent innovation—about four and a half centuries old. It allows a Power to subtract their own Spirit level from the miracle level and/or Penetration required to detect these traces. For example, an Inferno can use this rite to detect lesser magical effects as a Level 0 Domain miracle, plus whatever Penetration is necessary. Naturally, the trace of power must still exist; the following chart indicates how long the marks of miracles are detectable.
