Trained Investigators are a danger to any party interested in keeping their business private. Early training teaches them the art of, and patience for, research as well as how to read the ebb and flow of influence in a room. Practiced Investigators know the art of scrying or how to end others illusory effects at will. Every society needs them to some degree, but in large enough towns and cities they are a day-to-day requirement.
