Truthtrance

Truthtrance was an advanced ability which allowed the user to detect and identify falsehood or deceit. Due to its nature, truthtrance was often a skill practiced by Reverend Mother's to allow them to detect the truth; one would expect Truthsayer's to be predisposed to the use of truthtrance.

Whilst a gift seen most often in Reverend Mothers, the gift was not explicitly reserved to this group, however, and it was known that some individuals could also be born with the innate ability to detect falsehood. The most notable was Paul Atreides, whom Gaius Helen Mohiam immediately discovered was blessed with the ability of truthtrance upon their brief meeting on Caladan in 10191 AG.
