'''Rank 1: Pursuit of Mystery'''-
You have as a companion an Inu dog. You may direct your dog to Attack as a Complex Action. Both you and your dog gain a bonus to Hit equal to your Lore:Theology Skill Rank when knowingly fighting nonhumans, the wielders of numenerai, or individuals you know to be cursed.
 
'''Rank 2: Burden of the Heavens'''-
Upon observing an individual, you may roll Investigation (Notice)/Perception against their Etiquette/Awareness. On a success you are able to discern if an individual has a curse placed upon them and from where it manifests (the Taint manifests from the Shadowlands, Cursed by Benten would manifest from the Heavens, Cursed by Sakkaku would manifest from Sakkaku, a Cursed Item would manifest its curse from the item). You do not learn the specifics of their curse. When acting against these individuals socially, you gain a +3 bonus to Social Rolls per Curse they might possess.
 
'''Rank 3: Sickle of the Night Parade'''-
When it comes time to liberate an item from an individual, they are not always willing. When wielding a samurai weapon or a peasant weapon, you may make melee attacks as a Simple Action. Additionally when fighting with peasant weapons or in tandem with your dog, you gain a Free Raise on Disarm Actions against your opponent.
 
'''Rank 4: Riddle of the Hungry Gods'''-
Possession by spiritual entities or becoming cursed by the items you seek to reclaim is always a risk the Itachi must consider. You may add your Lore: Theology or Lore: Elements to your TN to be hit when attacked by curses, spells, or supernatural powers. If you possess an Emphasis related to the spell being cast against you [i.e. Lore: Elements (Fire) when being hit by a Fire Spell], you may spend a Void Point to turn the spell into a contested roll against your Lore:Theology/Willpower or Lore:Elements/Willpower.
 
'''Rank 5: Fracturing the Tie'''- 
The last lesson an Itachi Tracker must learn is how to destroy a numenerai. You and your dog gain a +1k0 bonus to all attack rolls or +0k1 to all damage rolls made against any cursed or blessed enemy, or spiritual entity. If you successfully perform a Disarm Maneuver or strike an unheld numenerai you may expend all your Void Points (a minimum of one point must be spent) to destroy the spiritual tie to the item and render it inert and shattered. If the item has the Unbreakable quality, the item now becomes breakable and any further magical enhancements become inert for a number of days equal to your Earth Ring. Performing this technique renders you unable to recover Void Points for one week.
