In many cases commonality of scent is not enough to determine proper linage. Through this ritual the caster is able to identify any direct relation between the Lycanthropes in question. The ritual requires (fresh) blood from the Lycanthropes involved. The spell works "vertically" through a lineage but can be used to identify "horizontal" relationships through a common progenitor. In this way Lycanthropes produced by the same progenitor would be seen as siblings. Skill roll target number 15, plus five per intervening generations to common progenitor. The results can be identified through the blood. Possible results:  1. Unknown (failed skill roll)  2. Unrelated (successful skill roll) 3. Related & how they are related. (successful skill roll)

Examples of skill target number:  1.Progenitor & Progeny: Two Lycanthroupes, one created by the other would require the target 15  2. Siblings: Two Lycanthropes created by the same progenitor would require a skill roll of 15 plus 5 (20) for a single intervening generation to the common progenitor "Parent"  3.Cousins: Two Lycantropes created by by different Lycanthropes who were Siblings would require target roll of 15 plus 10: two intervening generation to find the common progenitor "Grand Parent"

Designer notes: The skill traces the disease that causes Lycanthropy. Attempts to use non-Lycanthrope blood reveals an unknown answer, effectively a failed skill roll because it will only work with the lycanthropy diseased blood.
