Contingency Hex

A form of blood-magic hex which allows the caster to divine the nature of the target's death after they die.

"A deep crimson shadow spreads around him, leaks from his wounds and seeps through the cracks between the shop floorboards...then drip-taps a staccato message into the unseen waters of the Stringer's Fen bubbling beneath the shop. [...] Unseen in the waters below, the unravelled man's thoughts and shock are drip-drabbed out in bloody dots and dashes and swirls in the current, drifting toward an interpreter. One of the Kraken’s mages will read that last testament."
