Psychometry adds an additional option to the menu when selecting an item. It that item is an unidentified artifact, the player can "{{qud text|Read h&Wi&ystory with psychometry}}". This will identify the artifact with guaranteed success, unless the user is [[Normality|astrally burdened]]. The maximum complexity tier Psychometry can identify is determined by mutation level; if the artifact's complexity tier is higher than this, it will be "too complex" for the player to reconcile. | Psychometry adds an additional option to the menu when selecting an item.

Complexity is a value assigned to artifacts that represents how sophisticated their technology is. This is different from difficulty, which is used to determine how difficult it is to correctly identify an artifact with a normal {{qud text|e&Wx&yamine}}. In addition to their default complexity, any [[Mods]] on an artifact will also increase the complexity of that artifact depending on the mods. | Complexity is a value assigned to artifacts that represents how sophisticated their technology is.

For players with the [[Tinkering]] skill, they will gain access to another option when selecting an item. If that item is an identified artifact that can be constructed, the player can "{{qud text|Read early h&Wi&ystory with psychometry}}", granting them access to that artifact's recipe. The maximum complexity of artifacts whose recipes can be learned is determined by mutation level. Contrary to the description, Psychometry will grant the ability to construct artifacts without needing the appropriate Tinker skill; only the base Tinkering skill is required to learn and build the recipe. [[Mods]] cannot be learned through Psychometry. | For players with the [[Tinkering]] skill, they will gain access to another option when selecting an item.
